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

**slaveondope** · 10-21-2010, 02:35 AM

10.9 5850 stock

10.9 5850 900/1050 6870 clocks

Pretty much the same

**Aten-Ra** · 10-21-2010, 02:55 AM

ok thx

We now need to see if it will get any different results in Extreme Tessellation setting.

Well, one more day to go

Pretty much the same

try with the same clock on cpu as well

Minimum frames are better with 5850 and 10.9 than 6870

one more from GigaByte 6870

Heaven doesnt benefit from increased cpu clocks its one of the best benchmarks for GPU's regardless of platform

the GPU in there is not a 6870, it's a GTX 460, check the screen capture.

**zerazax** · 10-21-2010, 03:33 AM

Interesting

So assuming those leaked 6870 benches were real, then in Heaven at least, 6870 @ 900 Mhz w/ 1120 SP's = 5850 @ 900 Mhz w/ 1440 SP's... hmm

Interestingly enough, 1440 is 288x5 whereas 1120 is 280x4, if we are assuming that 4D is nearly the same efficiency as 5D, assuming no other changes were made

So ironically this just asked more questions.. is it more efficient front end, or did SP's get tweaked?

**Florinmocanu** · 10-21-2010, 03:35 AM

from what the rumors suggest, Bart XT still uses the same 5-way shaders. Cayman is rumored to bring the new 4D layout.

Yes, I'm aware of the current rumors

Of course, the current rumors are changing every hour

So much fun

It's actually already on sale on Malaysia (one store, limited stock) for RM 700 and 790 (6850 and 6870 respectively).

GTX460 1 GB costs around RM 700 here.

Good point. It could simply be a more efficient 4D design. Or perhaps it is a result of the improved tessellator.

Tomorrow will be interesting for sure.

That's cheap!

XFX prices here are 329/389 SGD :o

Nice.

**kaktus1907** · 10-21-2010, 05:35 AM

they tested with Forceware 258.96 = Boo
and overclocked GTX460 @765/3700MHz = Boo

**cold2010** · 10-21-2010, 05:44 AM

HD 6870

**kaktus1907** · 10-21-2010, 05:50 AM

it says GT 240 ?

Is this a bug or I'm actually seen it right?

Edit: I'm going to bed, too tired to laugh.

its also incomparable results
nvidia: 8xAA and 4xAF vs:
ATI: 0xAA/4xAF or 8xAA/16xAF

its not the same as any, although close to the second one.

**ethomaz** · 10-21-2010, 06:00 AM

HD 6870 > GT 240???

And the filters are differents.

Image 1: 1920x1080 noAA 4xAF
Image 2: 1920x1080 8xAA 16xAF
Image 3: 1920x1080 8xAA 4xAF

Now we maybe looking at something different

10.9 5850 900/1050 for comparison on efficiency all assuming its legit

-snip-

did you do them yourself? then thanks, can we get stock speeds too?

its looking like extreme preset is indeed handling better for 6800s, but it also looks like heavy AA is handled better on 5800s
