*** Official HD6XXX Series Overclocking Thread ***

Can anyone benchmark FFXIV high setting on your 6870? Preferably once at your highest aircooled overclock and once at 1000/1150. Use the first character.

I am deciding to either get a 6870 or the older 5850. Yes I know the 6870 is a way faster card and newer tech but i am being offered a 5850 at a really good price. If the 6870 is not too much faster I might a 5850 instead and save some money.

Thanks in advance.

You may find the below useful. At about 880 on the core a 5850 should be around stock 5870 performance in that bench.

Again, a 5850 with proper voltage should not have a problem matching or passing a stock HD 5870.
