That's strange given that Prey is based on the same engine as Quake 4. It looks like the Radeon HD 3870 has some trouble with prey and is mostly surpassed by its predecessor - the Radeon X1900XT, which is even faster than the GeForce 8800 GT at the smallest resolution. Prey v1.2b 116: A self-recorded demo of me running around and shooting in dmroadhouse 'Roadhouse'. NVidia's offering is somewhat ahead at the 1920x1200 resolution both with and without AA, however the 4xAA setting does not work (the card does 2xAA instead). At the lowest tested resolution the difference to the other cards its predecessors is much less pronounced. ДЄs expected the Radeon 3870 HD improves on the scores of its predecessors considerably, and is over four times faster than the stock card (Radeon HD 2600 XT) at 1920x1200 with 4xAA. Quake 4 v.1.4.2: A self-recorded netdemo of me running around and shooting in q4dm3 'The lost fleet'. All of these cards need auxiliary power, the power connectors are on the bottom right on each card. (Note that the cooler on the X1900XT is not the original one, but as the original it's a two-slot cooler). The previous generation Radeon X1900 XT (right) is somewhat longer due to its fixing frame. The GeForce 8800 GT (left) is about the same size, and also uses a single-slot cooler. The following photograph shows a comparison to two other cards.

The card needs auxiliary power available from one of two power plugs on the Mac Pro mainboard. GPU and memory clocks remain the same though, at 777 MHz and 2250 MHz respectively.

The Radeon 3870 works in both first generation Mac Pros from 2006/2007, as well as the second generation Mac Pros introduced in early 2008. ( But is not compatible with PCIe G5 Towers.) The Radeon HD 3870 is ATI's current single-GPU high-end card and their first high-end card available for Macs since the Radeon X1900 XT, which were sold both by ATI (for PowerMac G5s) and Apple (for Mac Pros). ( They didn't make that date, but as of early August 2008, site sponsor OWC had stock of the Radeon 3870 Mac/PC Edition, but sold out.) As the name suggests it works fine in Mac Pros as well as PCs.
