XFX Radeon HD 6850 Pictured, Detailed
After a recent exposé of the XFX Radeon HD 6870, DonanimHaber scored a few pictures of its next HD 6000 series card, the XFX Radeon HD 6850. Unlike the HD 6870 card, the HD 6850 from XFX makes use of XFX' own design for both PCB and cooler. The card is shorter than the HD 6870 by a fair bit, and makes use of typical XFX styling on the cooler shroud and rear panel. The cooler seems to be a circular fan-heatsink over the GPU, it's not known whether the memory and VRM have heatsinks too. Display connectivity includes two DVI, and one each of HDMI 1.4 and DisplayPort 1.2.
The card carries 960 stream cores, contradicting an older report, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory over a 256-bit wide memory interface. The core is clocked at 775 MHz, and memory at 1000 MHz (4 GHz GDDR5 effective). Expect it to be out on the 22nd of this month, at a highly competitive price for its performance level. ![]() Source: DonanimHaber |

more solid specs really give me the hunch that this will be as fast as a 5850, if not a little faster, given the new strem processor design works out swish.

yessir, BartsXT will (reportedly) pack more sp's again, something in the order of 1280 odd I think... and faster clocked memory.

It's good there aren't just 800 cores... c'mon, we have this number in the 4800 series. Even with the better efficiency, it's still too low for a meaningful increased performance - especially with this stupid Bart-is-6800-series.

I mean nvidias top end card uses 480 cores right? And beats 1600 cores in cypress. The architecture is the important thing not the core amount. Anywhom! I woke up this morning thinking it was the 22nd and hoping for lots of cool news to read ![]() Oh well the 18th and a few pics are fine too I guess. |

different shader architecture and diff scheduler etc. so 960 is apparently enough to match the ole 5850 withs it 1440 of the old style

Total waste of time posting in them because its a wild guess on the real specs(Usually).

6850 = 5830 performance - 6870 = 5850 performance.

First box picI like what xfx have done with the 6870/50 bracket and it is good to hear that it has 960sp's not 800 but these next few days are going to kind of suck having to wait for the reviews but more so as barts is not what im really interested in, what i want to know is how cayman fairs against the 5870 and 460 sli so i can finally upgrade from my tierd 4870, it's been running for about 21,000+ hours and could proberley do with taking a rest

Thats bullshit. I for one know that the 6870 is better than the 5870. Even W1zzard stated so somewhere in a thread.

The fan looks cheapass. The rest looks OK, kinda reminds me of the 5850 but without the Batmobile looks.

Your right.... It was in one of the 3 recent news threads but he "suggested" that was the case, or near to it.

I know, all I was saying was a statement that when W1z simply said "i've run the benchmarks and your statement is not true" In reply to a comment "I've seen the benchmarks and it is slower than the 58xx series" is not the same as W1z saying it is as fast as a 5870. Although my post above was not very clear .
