We finally made it, everything is official. The new AMD Radeon HD 6870 graphics card will handle HD 5870 in fashion again the mainstream area. This step has already been predicted by many, but now there is time, a comment from AMD. Accordingly, many gamers want the performance of a HD 5870 at a lower price.
Core of the HD 6800 cards Barts chip buyers a great value with a low price is intended to provide. The very reason stated Barts cards are also on a slide in the range between 150 and 250 U.S. $ - not too expensive and too cheap you might think.
The objectives that have been set at their development, especially to optimize the performance of a HD 5800 card and get a lower price and lower power consumption in the trade. It is the best performance per watt and per square millimeters of silicon, and thus the fastest graphics card with a TDP of 150 watts.
As expected and has also been reported already by us, is the performance of an HD 6870 just below that of a HD 5870, but that should not interfere further, because of the high end segment in the future three graphics cards are available to the customer, more Information to be there in November.
Although coming in the new graphics cards do not entirely new architecture for use, but at least this was reorganized and improved. Core features are a higher power per area, an improved design for faster DX11 tessellation and geometry processing, new and improved image-quality features (anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering), an advanced multimedia acceleration and current display technologies such as HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2.
to Betriber addition to constant improvement of Eyefinity and more and more ways to multiple monitors to a graphics card, you would like to make a step towards 3D. This feature is for AMD for a long time nothing new, but hardly anyone knew about it.
3D in the future but should be accessible to all. However, unlike Nvidia only with very expensive hardware, but with free drivers and monitors from partners such as LG and Samsung. Compatible software for Blu Ray 3D also exists already.
Apart from the soon to be the equivalent of CUDA ATI Stream will be abolished and replaced by "AMD Accelerated Parallel Processing", APP for short.
Now we have enough but you put on the rack, here all the final details on the new AMD Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 graphics cards.
The chip will be manufactured Bart's definitely in 40 nanometers, in it there are 1.7 billion transistors - much less than on a HD 5870 Also applicable for both video cards are the 32 ROPs, the use of GDDR5 memory on a 256 bit interface and the idle consumption of 19 watts.
The Radeon HD 6870 comes with 1,120 stream processors clocked at 900 MHz and thus a power of 2 teraflops. In addition, 56 texture units are available, the memory clock will be in the reference model 4200 MHz, resulting in a bandwidth of 134.4 GB / s can be achieved. The consumption under load should not exceed 151 watts, to power supply are two 6 pin PCIe power plug required. € 199.90 for it belongs to you.
The main opponents - the GTX 460 1 GB - will be offered in almost all current games, partly to one and a half times.
The Radeon HD 6850, this is represented with only 960 stream processors, which contacts only with 775 MHz. The performance thus been reduced to roughly 1.5 teraflop down, there are only 48 texture units available. The slightly slower memory with 4000 MHz effective here 128.0 Gbit / s are available on memory bandwidth. A positive side effect - the consumption drops to 127 watts and it needed only a 6 pin connector and the price drops to € 149.90.
Again, the competitor, the GTX 460, but in their execution with 768 MB of memory. And also about this is they are in the majority of the games by a factor of 1.1 to 1.6.
First card should be on your way to the trade and are therefore offered in the coming days. What about the availability, we shall soon see.
