Tbreak-Gigabyte HD 6850 Review
Now that ATI has launched their next-gen DX11 cards, there’s no shortage of choice out there where manufacturers are concerned. So in the office this week we had Gigabyte’s HD 6850 to play around with. While the basic PCB remains identical to the reference AMD HD 6850 cards, Gigabyte obviously added their own unique twist to the card, the Windforce 2x Anti-Turbulence cooling system.

Technic3D- AMD Radeon HD 6870
Wie bereits bekannt, ändert AMD bei der HD 6000 Serie die Produktbezeichnung der High-End und Performance Karten. Die Radeon HD 6870 beziehungsweise HD 6850 stellt nicht etwa den Nachfolger der HD 5870 dar, sondern eher den der HD 5770, HD 5830 und HD 5850 Grafikkarten. AMD verspricht ebenso ein Leistungsniveau über dem einer Radeon HD 5850 Grafikkarte.

Ultimate Hardware-SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 6870 REVIEW
"The Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 has a new architecture with a total of 1120 stream processors and 56 texture units delivering massively parallel computing power for graphics and other accelerated applications. Its core clock speed of 900MHz, together with a dedicated high speed interface to 1GB of GDDR5 memory running at 1050MHz (4.2 Gb/s effective) delivers class leading performance. It boasts a very modest active power consumption and, using Dynamic Power Management, the card has a super low-power idle mode."

Vortez-AMD Athlon II X2 255 Processor Review
This is my fourth AMD chip review and focuses on the budget end of the market with the Athlon II 255 dual core processor. After the mighty 'Goliath' in the form of the 1055T I'm intrigued to see how this little 'David' fares.

Hexus-AMD Radeon HD 6850 face-off - ASUS vs Sapphire vs PowerColor
The trio of partner-overclocked cards top out at a disappointing 820MHz core. We know that the HD 6850 GPU is partial to running way past the reference speed; our card managed 900MHz without flinching. The reason for the mediocre overclocks is down to AMD, which insists that any partner 'OC' card must be limited to 820MHz. This flies in the face of the huge increases we see on NVIDIA's GTX 460 GPUs.

Neoseeker-ASUS Radeon EAH6850 DirectCU Review
The ASUS EAH6850 DirectCU also includes a small factory overclock, but at only 15MHz the additional clock speeds might not yield a significant return. However, there is no price mark-up for this modest increase, so this model does not carry a higher premium than reference models. Also, most owners of the EAH6850 will purchase this specific model for the improved overclocking through the voltage control options, and not necessarily for the factory clock settings. With features such as improved cooling, Voltage Tweak and a very affordable price, this could be a card that appeals to the mainstream and enthusiast market.

Hardware Heaven-XFX Radeon HD 5770 Single Slot Edition
In the last month or two a lot of time has been devoted to the new 6800 series from AMD, a range of products which is priced very aggressively and offers a good price to performance ration. Even with this great value aspect the thought of paying over £140 for a graphics card seems a lot for some people though and for those consumers AMD with their partners are continuing to sell models based on the 5770 series. With all the focus on 6800 cards this means that those wanting to see how the 5770 performs in the latest games are left with few answers, until today.
The Inquirer-Crossfiring the AMD HD6870 review
LAST TIME we looked at the plain vanilla AMD Radeon HD6870 graphics card holding its own against the super overclocked Nvidia Geforce GTX460 from Gainward. This time, we'll see how a pair of those HD6870 cards scale up in Crossfire and hold their own against the Green Goblin's GTX580.
