XFX Radeon HD 6870 Smiles for the Camera
XFX is ready with the first AIB-branded Radeon HD 6000 series graphics card to be caught on camera. Its Radeon HD 6870 graphics card bears a racy-looking AMD reference-design blower-type cooling solution, with its own company sticker. The company has opted for the AMD-branded Radeon logo. It draws power from two 6-pin power connectors, has no backplate on the PCB's reverse side, and sports a custom-design rear-panel on which the XFX logo is etched on the exhaust. Display connectors include two DVI, an HDMI, and two mini-DisplayPort. Radeon HD 6870 is intended to be a successor to the Radeon HD 5700 series, a performance segment product targeting a price sweet-spot. Radeon HD 5800 series successors are Radeon HD 6900 series.

Or it just might be this XFX card. The others might be capable of QuadFire.

Er ... what?! Someone in their marketing department actually believes they're gonna make me install this brick-like chunk of composites inside my case?! No F-in' way. This one in particular looks so ugly and unfinished, it makes my snot wanna twist around my neck ...

Can't Wait on the reviews, and if it beats the 5850, Then how much more if the 6870 is released?

I wonder if these HD6800s and so on will have an AMD mini-DP -> DVI adapter(s) for Eyefinity?

Hey, cool -- and unlike my MSI 4830, they actually turned the letters the right way so that it won't be upside down when you install it.

This alongside the stupid naming scheme is making me wonder about AMD this time round, though if the leaked benches are anything to go by this is just a hair behind a 5870, and if this is replacing the 5770, what the hell will the 6950/70 be like??

Ahh still upset to see only two way crossfire. Although that could be because they don't want people having 3 way or 4 way if it could easily beat cayman.

Looks like hardware.info have taken a kicking of AMD or XFX as their article has gone.

they really are trying to confuse people now. most people are gonna thing this is the 5850 successor when its really a 5700 series. Plus all the the 5700 series cards only needed 1x6 pin for power if that. now they need 2. this looks more like a rebranded 5850 or 5870
