These will be the spiritual successors to the HD 5870 and HD 5850 and should go head to head with the higher end Fermi cards.ĭecember will see the introduction of Antilles which is meant to be the lynchpin of AMD’s renewed assault on the DX11 market.
#XFX RADEON HD 6850 ARTIFACTS PLUS#
November will see the release of the Cayman XT-based HD 6970 and Cayman Pro-based HD 6950 which have all of the features seen in Barts plus enhanced rendering scalability and off-chip buffering for DX11 applications. Hints about what Cayman has coming up next: The 6850 isn't really impressive because the gtx 460 performs more or less the same with the gtx 460 overclocking better. Man though, NV having to sell their gtx 470 for 240 bucks, ouch.ĬF performance is very impressive and honestly(I dislike the single CF connector though), shake any want of a gtx 480 since they are the same price and they use less power. At 220, this card would be very very 8800gt like.
That would be the perfect price for them. I hope AMD drops their cards another 20 dollars as some reviewers are suggesting. Neither card deserves their new naming moniker however. Besides lost plant 2, I don't see really anything that would make this part seem like a next gen directx 11 card. I don't think there was anything huge though done to the architecture. It look like they added a bit of efficiency of the cores, not a huge amount but enough to make it a bit faster than a 5850.
However is only when your overclocking.Īt stock clocks, though the 6870 is a great card, better than a stock 5850 and 470(for power reasons).
The gtx 470 would be good for a big power supply and the 5850 would be good for a low end power supply. At around 250, the 5850 and gtx 470 would make some stiff competition, it would be a tough choice and would really rely on the power supply I was getting. Very good card for the price, if I was building a system and wanted something 250 dollars I would be having a tough time picking cards.
