The die is not very big, even though it contains a huge number of transistors (that's what a thin fabrication process can do). AMD has already complicated its designations, there are no comprehensible suffixes anymore, only codes.

Bundle

Box

HIS RADEON HD 3870 512MB PCI-E

Unfortunately, we have to admit that HIS abandoned attractive convenient boxes for some blackish packages. It's too narrow for such a wide card (you can see it even with your eyes, because the box swells in the middle).

But all components are neatly packed in a plastic box, and the card is secured in its compartment.

This box complies with the latest style of PowerColor. It has a vertical layout, and it holds another box inside, made of white cardboard. This inner box contains bundled elements arranged into compartments.




Sapphire RADEON HD 3850 256MB PCI-E

As in case with HIS, we are sorry to say that the company abandoned its old nice designs with windows. Its bundles used to be arranged into plastic compartments, and now bundled components are scattered in the box cushioned with foam rubber.

They produce an impression of a slapdash job, as if they just threw a card inside and sent the box to a store. At least they have given up the Martians.




Sapphire RADEON HD 3870 512MB PCI-E

It's a similar box.
