We've learned that MSI will be one of the partners that will dare to overclock the Radeon HD 3870 X2 dual chip graphics card. Our sources have confirmed that the card will work at 850MHz, while the reference card works at 825MHz out of the box.

We are sure that some other partners will overclock their cards, too, and we were surprised that ATI could make it over 800MHz with these two 55nm chips.

When it launches tomorrow, the Radeon HD 3870 X2 will be the fastest card on the market, at least until Nvidia launches its Geforce 9800 GX2 cards.
