After a bit of drooling by Mac users, AMD has now released the ATI Radeon HD 3870 card for Mac & PC. According to AMD, the card is optimized for use with Apple’s Mac Pro systems and brings the noise and the funk with 512MB of GDDR4 RAM, 320 stream processors, PCI Express 2.0 support and twin dual-link DVI ports for when you need to rock both of your 30-inch Cinema HD displays.
When it launches in about a month, look to have an extra $129 in your pocket so you can grab one fresh off the line. Check the link below for a full list of specs.
