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

Granted we would all like to see the latest drivers on all cards, but that would be impossible and take weeks.

Would be nice though to have at leased 1 460 and 1 470 benched with the latest drivers.

Mutli_GPU configurations should be tested on the latest drivers for all Graphics Card not only HD68xx, for that you can not compare scaling with HD58xx,GTX4xx
