PowerColor HD 3850 Xtreme Review

Bjorn3D posted a review on the PowerColor HD 3850 Xtreme.
The last few months were very uncomfortable and stressing for AMD. It seems the $5.4 billion dollar merger with ATI did not do any good for now. Even worse, the current products are inferior to the competition in terms of performance. Because we can't do a damn thing about it we have to watch and monitor what happens next. This particular transaction made a lot of strategical and operational changes to the company. Many wonderfully performing engineers were let go or simply moved elsewhere which in my opinion created chaos and distraction in the departments. Whatever positive things AMD says about the merger and the wonderful products they are just trying not to scare away the investors and potential OEM customers.
Pardon the above prologue, but it's necessary to explain why AMD products fall behind NVIDIA and Intel -- and that's across all levels. Price wise however, AMD gets the kudos and that's certainly an important factor for a lot of customers. Again, AMD needs to calm down, take a few chill pills and let ATI do what they do best -- Graphics Processing Units. The coordination between both companies is as important as their isolated actions.
Before we proceed, check out what Björn cooked for you while being in Warsaw.
Going back to reality, I have another graphic card for you to check out. It's AMD's second attempt to convince you to their high-end Radeon HD models. The ever wonderful PowerColor aka Tul, shipped a surprise package to my doorstep with the PowerColor HD 3850 512MB Xtreme inside. I would like to apologize to Raymen and you guys for not releasing the article as planned, but Leadtek WinFast PX8600 GT SLI article had been in the works.
