Only place you're going to find a card that old is EBay (unless someone has one to sell).
Ebay listings - ATI Radeon HD3850 AGP

Just curious what you're trying to do. These cards went defunct with the Pentium 4s and Athlon X2s (or there abouts).

thanks bro.

i like this card, sadly, on ebay, no HIS iceq hd3850, but all are other brand...

unless you are a collector who are trying to make an old PC work , dont bother wasting money on such card , or try to find it for $10 not any more.

Any $50-$70 CPU/APU today from Intel or AMD will outperform it both in CPU speed and GPU speed.

That may be what you want, but you can't be picky about branding when looking for a specific GPU that's more than a decade old that uses an interface nobody still uses.

Good luck trying to get any late AGP card for anything approaching a reasonable price. They are rare because most people had moved on to PCIe by the time they came out, so nobody bought them. HD3850, HD4670, and 7950GT Are all hard to find in AGP, and the people who do have them aren't selling them cheaply.

The same applies to late PCI cards. It took me years before I was finally able to get my hands on a GT 430 PCI. Up to then, I had a PCI 9500 GT in one of my vintage builds, and I'm still trying to locate a FX 5600 PCI.
