Conclusion:

Overall the Visiontek 3870X2 Overclocked Edition is a very cool card (figuratively, although it also doesn't get exceptionally card). It fixes the past issues with dual GPUs and offers a wallop of performance. However, for the overclock you receive it is on the steep side of things. It is $449 at Newegg while the cheapest 3870X2 can be had for $329.99 which is a fairly large gap in price for the overclock. That said again the cooling solution is quite good but it might be good to drop a mail-in-rebate there or some price cutting. Looking at the card's closest competitor in price and performance, the 9800 GTX from Nvidia, we think the card offers a great solution for those gaming at higher resolutions. One market where ATI might look for a bigger boost in selling graphics cards is Intel's chipset series which still only support CrossFire technology and not SLI unless you go for the incredibly expensive Skulltrail platform. AMD might not have the fastest CPUs to push these high-end cards but you can still find a home for them there which should fit nicely.
