Radeon HD 3870 Mac Edition launches
GRAPHICS AND VIDEO pros with a first-gen Mac Pro sitting on thier desks will be happy to see the arrival of a well-specced and reasonably-priced PCIe video card hitting the market.
The ATI Radeon HD 3870 for Mac & PC Edition [..]
...has twin dual-link DVI ports capable of driving two 30-inch HD monitors and a power management system which dynamically adjusts clocks and voltages to keep the noise and heat down when the card's not working at full tilt.
The US price is pegged at $219 so you can expect to see it at around the £130 mark by the time it hits the shores of Blighty, hopefully not too long after the end-of-June release date. µ
