Review: Hardware Canucks
_____________
According to recent statistics, the launches of both the Nvidia 8800GT and the ATI HD3870 have been the most successful launches in each company’s recent history. Unlike what happened with the G80 launch (with both the GTX and GTS) where manufacturers were extremely slow to produce aftermarket coolers these new launches have sparked an almost immediate response. Companies have announced compatibility for both new and old coolers alike due to both of these new cards having the same heatsink mounting locations as cards which have already been on the market for some time. There have been a few modifications to many of the accessory packages of these older and now compatible heatsinks but we will get into that later. Considering the popularity of these cards it isn’t surprising to see a manufacturer like Thermalright looking to jump into action as soon as possible.
