Just a few days after ASUS launched its first video cards based on ATI's 3870X2 design, PowerColor came up with their own 3870X2 card, simply called PowerColor HD 3870X2 (nothing special about the name, I must add). This is a very hot card, because the press release came up only a few hours ago, so let's see what exactly do we have here, shall we?

The HD 3870X2 from PowerColor is a PCI-E 2.0 card with two cores clocked at 825MHz, and 1GB of DDR3 memory at 1.8GHz. It features a total of 640 stream processing units, has a 2X256-bit memory bandwidth and, obviously, also comes with full DirectX 10.1 and Shader Model 4.1 support. At last, you should know that, just like the reference design, this card has built-in HDMI and 5.1 surround audio, as well as Unified Video Decoder (UVD) for playing Blu-ray and HD DVD content.
Bundled with PowerColor HD 3870X2, you get their iClone 2 software, an application able to turn "any desktop into a complete virtual movie studio", and accessible to all users. At this time, the product doesn't show up on PowerColor's official site, but I am sure we'll see it there (and in stores) in a matter of days.
