Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 1GB sneak peak!

OBR · Jan 25, 2011, 12:27 PM

Box

No vapor-chamber cooler!

Cheapo PCB

No Dual BIOS, no switch

HD 6800 PCB!

Elpida MEMs!

Chill voltage controller!

Ti mofets!

This one sucks! I'm happy that I already bought HD6950 (reference)!

20mmrain · Jan 25, 2011, 12:45 PM

I disagree.... I actually was thinking when they first released.... Why 2Gb's Its really not needed for the majority of us. Even at 1920x1080 we don't need that much. As far as the newer PCB.... I don't like it. That part does look cheaper. But this does open up an interesting upgrade option to those with a 6870/6850 and doesn't want to pay an arm and a leg for an extra gb of memory that we don't need.

I will wait to see benches to make up my mind for sure.

Dj-ElectriC · Jan 25, 2011, 12:46 PM

One thing that i know is that Sapphire's blue pcb version of the HD5850 is FAR SUPIRIOR then the reference design
in both overclocking and cooling abilities

DarkOCean · Jan 25, 2011, 12:47 PM

This is the same pcb as the msi twin frozr 6950 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/M...rozr_II/3.html .I bet this is the second revision of pcbs with texas instruments vrms that we were hearing about in the news .

arroyo · Jan 25, 2011, 12:49 PM

Good finding DarkOCean. I am curious which memory chips are better, Elpide or Hynix?

sa seba · Jan 26, 2011, 03:24 AM

Looks like there isn't much of a difference in performance at all between the 1GB and the 2GB version: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum...review-17.html

This, together with the price cuts, suddenly makes the 560 look not so "outragesly great" anymore.

/outragesly: is this even a word?

Outrageously is a word

Seems to me that AMD priced the 1GB 6950 just right. Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against the 560 /w 11.1 Cats.

sa seba · Jan 26, 2011, 05:02 AM

Oh, I see. I merely misspelled it then. Outrageously it is!

thunderising · Jan 26, 2011, 05:13 AM

The HD6950 actually hits the GTX560 Ti stock very very hard. Winning almost everywhere including power consumption.

sa seba · Jan 26, 2011, 05:18 AM

That's why I don't quite understand the euphoria reviewers currently are displaying. Sure, the 560 is a well designed answer to the 6950 1GB, but that's about it.

sliderider · Jan 26, 2011, 05:19 AM

What's the price difference between the 6950 2GB, 6950 1gb and 6870 going to be? If 6950 2GB is $300, and 6870 is $250 that doesn't leave a lot of room for pricing this new card. If it's only a few dollars more than a 6870, then AMD will be destroying sales of that card and if the 2gb card is only a few dollars more than the 1gb one then everyone will buy that one instead. Even if AMD does a price drop now it's going to be hard to see how this new card is going to establish a niche for itself.

So let's assume they split the difference and price it at $275 but the performance is similar to the 2gb model, then it will be hurting sales of the 2gb card because everyone will buy the cheaper one, and if it vastly outperforms 6870 for only $25 more then it will steal sales from that card, too. Whether you look at it from a price perspective or a performance perspective, this new card is going to hurt sales of the existing ones.

I also don't understand why Sapphire is going with a non-reference cooler but NOT the Vapor-X/Toxic one. If they thought the 6870 got hot enough for external exhaust, what makes them think this is going to run any cooler?

sa seba · Jan 26, 2011, 05:42 AM

Well, according to http://techpowerup.com/139121/AMD-Sl...-Products.html :
# Radeon HD 6870 1 GB: $219
# Radeon HD 6950 1 GB: $259
# Radeon HD 6950 2 GB: $269~289
With this, the 6950 2GB will probably see eol pretty soon as it doesn't make much sense, except if you play at 2560 x 1600. But then the 6970 costs about $370, which is $100 more that a 6950 1GB.

I think I just confused myself

HIS H695F2G2M Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI...

2GB 6950 $259.99 after rebate. Why would you even consider the 1gb one?

I like rebates but they are time consuming and a hassle for some. Won't be long before there are rebate promos on the 1GB's too.

arroyo · Jan 26, 2011, 09:43 AM

Does the 1GB version of HD6950 have ability to unlock shaders?

OBR · Jan 26, 2011, 12:24 PM

unlocking is not possible, new 6950s with 6870 PCB are not unlockable ... HIS, MSI, Sapphire ...

sa seba · Jan 27, 2011, 02:47 AM

The engineering samples have the bios switch...

SvB4EvA · Jan 27, 2011, 02:58 AM

For 10-20 bucks, why not have the extra gig of RAM? The prices dont make much sense me to at all. Also, no dual BIOS?

s7uidz · Feb 3, 2011, 04:28 PM

I have a mini-atx case and have about 9.5" for a video card.. my Radeon 4850 fits perfectly. I noticed the 6950 2gb models are 10.5" which means all new case and transplanting everything. is the 1gb model smaller dimensions? I've noticed the 6850 use a smaller PCB. also the 560ti is around 9" stock...

anyone know the length of this card?

Thanks

Hynix, or even some Samsung would of been nice..

But anyways that card looks horrible lol. Not as i am a Sapphire fan anyways.

I would agree with you in the sense that the 6950 is probably not considered the card for people who play at 2560 resolution.
But for those who do try it, that 2GB would still make a noticeable difference.

Additionally, two 6950 in Crossfire, is a hot setup at the moment, especially with the shader unlock option.

They should have just released a 6950 with 1gb and called it something OTHER than 6950. Sure, us nerds would have figured out it's a gimped 6950, but for consumers it would have kept thing simple.

6940(??)> 6950> 6970

Second thought: Maybe they're going to obsolete the 6950 2GB and for multiple reasons try to bridge the gap between itself and the 6970 (current flagship). They dump the 2GB model, lower production costs with the 1GB version, and most consumers are none the wiser.

brandonwh64 · Feb 4, 2011, 07:50 PM

Does these cards allow voltage control?

arroyo · Feb 4, 2011, 08:11 PM

They have Chill voltage regulator so they suppose to have voltage control.

brandonwh64 · Feb 4, 2011, 08:12 PM

This looks like a nice card to flash and unlock shaders?
