Definitely not a reference 5850/70 board.

hmm wonder if they ordered 5850 boards to

The company now has with it a batch of "BFG Tech" labelled graphics cards it can't sell. It plans to rebadge and exhibit them at the China Sourcing Fair later this October

People, has anyone read the ARTICLE ????

This card uses non-public version 6 (core) + 1 (memory) +1 (I / O) power supply design, power supply module in which the core digital power supply used CHiL solutions - CHL8266. This is a supply up to 6 phase digital PWM master, the maximum output current up to 200A, the maximum output voltage of 2V, the core can support 400W. CHL8266 compatible with Intel latest VMR11.1 specification and supports programmable or dynamic switching phase energy-saving technology and high conversion efficiency mode provides intelligent load and voltage output adjustment Gamer mode, is ideal for high-power high-end graphics use.

It obvious, that the card uses analog power subsystem design (6+1+1). Those are just plane 3-pin MOSFETs. However, the article states the card has a digital PWM power subsystem. But there are no 6+1+1 ICs, just one under the power connectors, and i doubt its CHL8266. More over. the box never says its HD6850 card. Iit does states "HD6000" but that does not make any sense, although its clocks are the same with 6850 cards.Imho, there are mistakes in card description or this card is fail
