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

But a 6870 can be OCed as well, try to compare default 5850 with default 6870 because both of them have OC potential.

I dont think that bench was legit for one. Notice the same clocks and ~equal scores.
If it is a legit bench then this only shows clock for clock they are equal in this bench.
Secondly I dont feel we will see much high overclocking head room on the 68xx.
I expect the same ~1000-1080mhz core limit as 58xx's but we should find out for sure in the next few hours

EDIT: I did post a default 5850 run in the first SS
