The Inquirer reports that indeed there are some bad Radeon HD 3800s out in the wild. It appears that 3870s, 3870X2s, and perhaps some 3850s are also faulty. They note however that this issue is much more limited than what Nvidia is going through. The companies in question are Diamond, Alienware, GeCube and ATI. The parts are the 3870, first and second revision, the 3870 X2, and potentially some 3850s. What happened is that Alienware got a large batch of Diamond cards, and they started failing at higher than normal rates, between two per cent and, in some cases, slightly above 10 per cent. Quite unacceptable. |
