Review HD 6850 and HD 6870

22 October 2010 is the AMD 6800 days. AMD has design the new GPU that have chip inherated from 5xxx series. It was a successor from AMD 57xx but it is almost double the power. It can play most of the games with smooth and playable gameplay. Furthermore it is very cheap.

The 6850 has a GPU with 775Mhz, 960 stream processors, a 4000Mhz memory and about 127 watt of power. While it big brother has a 900Mhz GPU, 1120 stream processors and 150 to 160 watt of power. Both of the cards have 256-bit memory bus, 1GB DDR5 and compatible with DirectX 11.

The 6800 are built for compete with their competitor from NVDIA, the 460GTX. With a very tight price, it try to steal some market. Let see the review below. All with 1920x1200 resolution. With a 950 i7, and 3x2GB DDR3 G.Skill @1333Mhz.


The lowest price is $160 for a GTX 460 768MB, $190 for a GTX 460 1GB, $180 for an HD 6850 and $240 for an HD 6870. They sure have a good line up there. For you that really need a sub $200 GPU, I recomended the HD 6850. It beat 460 most of the game, even the 1GB one. For the brand I recomended the first tier of AMD friend like HIS or Sapphire.
