AMD Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 confirmed to be launched on 22.10.2010

[kaktus1907]

3DMark Vantage
Gpu scores only
GTX 460 vs HD 6870
Performance preset
12636 vs 15800

High preset
8803 vs 10430

[Nintendork]

So 18% advantage in High and 26% advantage in Performance for the HD6870 over the 460 1GB.

We need some HD6850 love.

Gpu clock 915...

[kaktus1907]

it seems op used old nvidia driver 258.96.. you know 260.89 improves around +500-1000 points for gpu score..

just look at gpu scores
258.96

Damnit, just lost the pic, but Chiphell had a 6870 vs. a GTX 460 1GB and the 6870 scored on Vantage H11xxx whereas the the GTX 460 scored H95xx. Somewhere around 16-17%. GPU score it was like 9xxx vs. 10xxx, roughly 18% advantage for the 6870. So I'm guessing the 6870 being somewhere between 5850 and 5870 is about right?

Yep thanks to those who found it

If 6870 is really ~20% faster than GTX 460 1GB and is priced < $250, that would just crush

yo boy this card from ASUS is Overclock

ASUS HD 6870 OC CORE CLOCK : 915MHz
AMD HD 6870 reference CORE CLOCK : 850MHz

Performance preset
12539 vs 15800

High preset
8803 vs 10430

the Compare with GTX 460 and HD 6870 Must be Without Overclock

[Nintendork]

TBA:

We need to remember HD4870 480SP and then magically 800SP.

The third one... "Single slot fansink"

[spursindonesia]

I think a few rumors are getting more solid as more leaks coming. Bart chip seems to be 230 mm^2 in size, having 256 bit buswidth, and the full fledged chip with its optimal clock is having ~GTX 470 performance. That's quite a success from technical standpoint, increasing efficiency within the same process node. Now it's up to AMD whether they will make the right tactical pricing decision, so the cards will be a mass success & strengthening their longterm viability.

so what if its a stock oc card .. its still a stock card ... to wich we will use to interpret the numbers

[BeepBeep2]

Look at the XFX card photo.

960 SP's
Not 1280.
850 core vs 900.

The asus card is OC'ed from 900 to 915 with more SP's.

I like the way they kept quiet about it, I had no idea this was coming.

yeah, you know your pr rocks if nobody knows your launching a product... wait what?
i really dont like how ati is keeping it quiet about their new parts... its too quiet...
i can understand it to some degree to make it harder for nvidia to counter, but i doubt that it actually makes a difference...
and a product preview is really useful for customers and a company, i mean intel and amd are actually embracing this and seeding early samples and previewing it officially... all the while ati goes back to how pr was done 10-20 years ago, what product, there is no product, who told you there was a product?

[Baron_Davis]

single slot 6870 = HOT

[zerazax]

Those leaked XFX/ASUS things don't confirm anything about clocks/SPs

Which tells me that AMD has really kept things secret REALLY well

Also says that in real world gaming, 6850 is a bit faster than gtx 460

Should have specified the version, real world gaming has been more of a Nvidia field. It will be great if that comes to be true.

I like the TBA on each core and memory speed on XFX slide..

[Hey Zeus]

Guys.. The 6870 is just a 5770 with a 256bit bus correct or am i totally off?

new shader layout + 3d and blu ray encoding decoding stuff added ... + with the agrresive pricing it would be a good purchase and anyway there seems to be some other higher end model to be introduced later that are suited candidate as high end gpus


so i wouldnt call it the same card with a bigger bus

Anyone else not digging the 1 Xfire connector on that XFX model? PLEASE tell me the reference will have 2 Xfire connectors

They're crippling it on purpose like Nvidia did with the 460.

[Hey Zeus]

They're crippling it on purpose like Nvidia did with the 460.

Not sure why exactly i should buy one then other then curiosity.

Is there any ETA on the 475 or 495? I've been out of the loop
