    Cutom Radeon HD 6850 Comes with HD 5850 PCB and Zalman VF3000 Cooler

    This looks pretty good.. I wonder how far it can overclock :d



    Taking a good look at this graphics card you will see this actually doesn't have all that much in common with a regular HD 6850 solution, Colorfire choosing to use a HD 5850 PCB when designing its graphics card, since the Barts GPU is pin-compatible with Cypress.

    As a result we get a longer PCB, that comes with a 8 phase power delivery circuit (six for the GPU, one for the memory chips and one for the I/O circuitry), all of these being controlled by a CHL8266 chip, produced by CHiL.

    Moving on, we also get a dual-Crossfire connectors (something that we really missed in the HD 6870 and HD 6850's design), although we don't know if this will actually enable users to build triple and quad-CrossFireX setups since the HD 6800 series is limited at operating a maximum of two cards in parallel as well as two 6-pin PCIe power connectors (a bit overkill if you ask me).
