I only can see 1 6pin connector. :shrug:
ASUS HD6850 DirectCu has non-reference design board
hhmmm...I thought that only the cooler was diferent...
Tks
Thats a 6870 non reference pcb. Too bad the performance scaling isn't that great.
yes, they're allowing partners to do non reference designs right out of the gate this time, correct?

We had a nice chat with one of the AMD AIB partners and according to solid info AMD allowed partners to design the HD 6850 PCB by themselves. This means that, from day one, all of the HD 6850 might be different in some way as partners will certainly try to differentiate from the competition.
Update: Unboxing Asus HD6850 DirectCu
i hate these non-ref coolers. yes that video is a fail also.
