Elite Bastards posted a review on the Sapphire Radeon HD 3870 Toxic video card
In our introduction, we mentioned that the factory overclocks seen with this board have been cut compared to those previously used on the Radeon HD 3870 Atomic - Thus, while that board featured an 825MHz core clock, this board utilises an 800MHz core clock (still 25MHz higher than a reference board), with memory set to 1152MHz against 1200MHz on the Atomic and 1125MHz for a reference board.
The real key feature of the Radeon HD 3870 Toxic is its Vapor-X vapour chamber cooler. The advantages of this cooler are obvious in its size compared to the behemoth which sits atop a reference Radeon HD 3870 graphics board, with the Toxic's effort occupying just a single slot while actually cooling the graphics core more effectively and less noisily, which is a definite win in my book.
