GPU-Z and Radeon HD 6800?

[MikyKew]

Some guy from China postes this. Is it possbile that GPU-Z can recognize next-gen graphic cards?

[KingPing]

Although i'm skeptical about this, it's that time of the year again so i wouldn't be surprised if this is real.

[W1zzard]

nothing i can see in the gpuz part of the screenshot that suggests it's fake

[inferKNOX]

Woohooo! This is getting exciting... XD

[AltecV1]

i have never run vantage,so how does the score look? better then todays cards?

[AphexDreamer]

Uh beat this score for a 5870.

"At the end of the night Sami was able to break the single GPU world record on 3DMark Vantage Extreme with a score of X11364"

Not by much though.

lucky son of a bxxxh if it's true

although i'm calling bull poop on this, as why would their not be a bios or device id ?

me thinks someones been tinkering with rbe 1.25

[mdsx1950]

Damn. That looks like a powerhouse card. Wonder if that was the 6850 or 6870. If it is the 6850 by any chance, the 68xx series and 69xx series are going to be some extremely powerful cards.

[inferKNOX]

I hope it's the 6850 at the most!!

EDIT: Please be a 6830! XD
The lower the card this is (if it's not fake), the better the performance the ones higher up will have, so I hope it's a 6830, considering it's saying it's "6800 series".

@W1zz: have you written the string "ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series" into GPU-Z, as in the name field here? Or does it get that string from elsewhere like the driver maybe?

[Tatty_One]

What they do.... write their own driver for the thing? Ati often don't even get the drivers right for cards on release never mind a card not released for months.

Before someone calls BS on that memory clock, it's very much possible with 7 GT/s memory chips (specified for 1750 MHz actual, 3500 MHz DDR, 7000 MHz effective).

it would be the logical thing do to!would be more cost effective then bigger bus

[W1zzard]

the string you see in the first field is from the vga driver, the same text that shows up all over your system

[LAN_deRf_HA]

My math must suck cause that keeps working out to 50% faster than a 5870 for me. That can't be right.

[wolf]

holy hell look at that memory bandwidth, next gen GDDR5 FTW.

given on this hefty preset and beta drivers its already 25%+ faster than a 5870, my hopes are climbing!

[sapetto]

looking good And if its true the card will be a monster

[Lionheart]

Im getting all tingerly inside, Im so excited I feel like dat kid on youtube who opens up his N64 at Christmas time 205GB/s

I wonder if they would make another eyefinity6 card, maybe the reference HD6870 will have a 256bit bus width and 2GB GDDR5 RAM then they bring out a HD6870 eyefinity6 512bit Bus width and 4GB GDDR5 RAM, I can't really see that happening but I want it too

[LAN_deRf_HA]

If they make 2 GB standard I'm betting there won't be 4 GB versions, no use. Which is what I'm hoping for. I had a 1 GB card like 4 years ago, time to move up.

I don't see them making it standard just yet, I would guess that the majority of PC users worldwide have 19 inch screens or less, at those resolutions they would see no benefit above 1GB and therefore would be flushing their hard earned down the crapper TBH.

There is, but it is blanked out, probably so whoever leaked the screens can't be tracked by the BIOS version and Device ID.

IF this true, which I hope it is, these are amazing chips. The 5870 in this Vantage run was clocked at 1250 core/1390 mem and it was beat by a card running a 850Mhz core!!!

[entropy13]

Why can't it determine memory size? It knows it's GDDR5, it knows it's bus width, it knows the bandwidth but not the amount of vRAM?

The RAM used certainly offset the core frequency's difference...and it seems that the mem is still overclockable, as of course the core is.

And that worries me a bit, simply as this is not supposed to be "from the ground up new architecture" where the 5 series was and the 5850 was 17% faster than the 4890 across the board.

could be misreadings. there is no clear code path for any hd 6000 stuff
