wallet jumps outa pocket and hides under the sofa, :D

Im with you on that.

You think! :ohcrap:

And the sad reality is, we will all have one sooner or later .....

Might as well head over to the 12 step program thread now and avoid the Christmas rush .......... :ohcrap:

I started putting a lil cash away this week for one by new years.

:rofl

Is that the Newegg Layaway plan ? :laughing:

Here anything on the price of admision for a 6870 ?

No that's the stuff it somewhere my wife doesn't know about it plan! Dunno how much they will be. I pray $400.

I heard that bro .......... :thumbsup:

if it does take the speed crown $ 400 may be wishful thinking .... :ohcrap:

Oh it is. $500 price tag out again.

better than an $800 8800Ultra :morpheus:

Well 8800 Ultra was a better card than the 9800 series (except the gx2) at an serious resolution wasn't it? IIRC it competed and bested (by a FPS or two) with the 285 at 2560x1600.

That is the last nice thing I will say about that $5 crack whore of a company. (My dismissal of green shit spans 10 years nuff said)

OK guys, screenshots are starting to roll out.

Thats pretty quick, I guess these cards are getting into peoples hands already, cool.

DAMMMMNNN

Here is splaves 24499 score on a 5870 for comparison


Good VGA score compared to a 1300/1200 5870!

i got 24869 at 1030 core :Dizzy: but also with a 980

but they look good cuz of the cpu score isnt very high so if its with a 980 + 1300 core i would say cover 30k it should get :shock:

Yeah.. I saw the CPU score on the 6000 review and was like what... please.

then I saw splaves cpu score and went.. H.S. its higher!!!

I would ASSUME this is not the new "6870" (new nomenclature excuded... going on current just adding a 6) but assume this is the 6970.

No way did ATI jump near 100% performance AND lower power.



In reality... what these screenies means is

a) wait and see

b) nVidia has to change their green diapers. nVidia might be the new AMD. (If they price their 6 month lineup correctly, doubtful since it is nVidia)

i went through the ss again an noticed in the heaven benchmark its a i7 930 @ stock :laughing:


but well have to wait and see when they come out

meh... marketing. Always in our way!

After weeks of speculations and false rumors we at NordicHardware have managed to dig up the most important details on AMD's new graphics card series, Radeon HD 6800. Targeting the mid-range segment AMD will launch Radeon HD 6850 and HD 6870 on October 18th.
Back in August we could confirm that AMD would stir things up by naming the mid-range series Radeon HD 6800. The GPU "Barts" is the successor to Juniper GPU of the Radeon HD 5700 series, but it is being moved up a notch. The list of specifications that was leaked at several sites last week said that Barts would launch as Radeon HD 6700, which made us wonder about the authenticity of the document. We have had it confirmed that our previous information on Barts and Radeon HD 6800 were correct, which we can now back up with detailed specifications and launch dates.
AMD Radeon HD 6850 (Barts Pro) and HD 6870 (Barts XT) will launch on October 18th (19th in some countries, if nothing gets changed in the last minute) and the new Northern Islands architecture is tuned and optimized for better performance per watt. We should not expect any revolutionary improvements over current models, but more on that soon.

Barts will bring at most 960 stream processors, which should be proof enough that this is a mid-range circuit, and not to play with the big boys. Little brother Radeon HD 6850 will settle for 800 stream processors and lower clock frequency, but AMD has also revised the texture units and efficiency of the stream processors, which makes the numbers a bit misleading when compared directly to previous generations.
Radeon HD 6870 will, according to reliable sources, perform better than today's Radeon HD 5850. Not to bad for a card that is intended to replace Radeon HD 5770, but at the same time makes the naming scheme a bit confusing.
Little brother Radeon HD 6850 will in turn be a bit slower than Radeon HD 5830, but consume a lot less power. This isn't all bad, but it will be confusing for buyers as the new mid-range model should outperform the lower ranked cards of the previous generation.
As we mentioned above, AMD has focused on performance/per watt with the new architecture. With the same 40nm technology it has refurnished and tweaked the Evergreen architecture and managed to find a lot of extra performance. The power consumption of Radeon HD 6850 will be well below 150 watt, around 120 watt according to our sources. While Radeon HD 6870 will be sucking well above 150 watt, which puts it on par with Radeon HD 5850, a card it should outperform with margin to spare.
The biggest reason AMD starts off the new family with Barts is the market focus. Radeon HD 6850 and HD 6870 has been trained to hunt down and kill NVIDIA GeForce GTX 460, the graphics card NVIDIA is building its volume sales upon. AMD has no strong competitor for GTX 460 today, but it hopes to change this with the Radeon HD 6800 series.
GeForce GTX 460 is also the reason for the confusing naming scheme. The GeForce GTX 400 series was built upon NVIDIA's GF100 GPU, but when NVIDIA launched GTX 460 with the stripped down GF104 GPU and still put it part of the GTX 400 series AMD saw no other solution but to follow and move up its mid-range cards in the hierarchy. On a positive note the coming Caymen series, to replace Radeon HD 5800 in the performance segment, will also move up the ladder to avoid any confusion within the own ranks.

Radeon HD 6900 (Caymen)High-endRadeon HD 5900 (Hemlock)Radeon HD 6990 (Antilles)
AMD Radeon HD 6870 will according to sources to NordicHardware be a pure reference product that will be sold ready-to-ship from AMD to partners. In other words, packaging and stickers on the reference cooler will be the only difference at launch.
AMD Radeon HD 6850 on the other hand will be available in tailored suits from the major partners, which will hopefully result in some unorthodox solutions and cool third-party designs.
We don't have any concrete pricing to offer just yet, but considering AMD is countering GeForce GTX 460 they should appear in the $150-250 segment.

Well someones wrong

Last I read Barts was the 6700 series, less powerful than a 5870 and was pushed till November :s

An old song come to mind......Anticipation.

LOL apparently the nvidia releases spooked them and it has been moved back to OCt 19th... (vice original oct 12th)

Same person that reported the delay reported the change to the 19th as well.. over at digitimes.

I'll believe it when I see it. Got to wait for Oct. 19th .

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo these look good

Dont know the Release Date but October Release is confirmed for HD6800, I have one coming in for Review next week, yipee......:P

Sweet Deal !

Whats the high end sku for the 6 series?

lol, nice avatar Supps.

OCM :thumbsup:

thx man :)

On top of saving for Sandybridge need to save a little for one of these. :D

Am I reading this correctly? 6870 will be 20% faster than a GTX 460 and around $250? Am I missing something? Shouldn't the 6870 be going up against the GTX 480 and around $500? I think there is a typo or something.

Nope. According to the internet, they changed the naming scheme again. 6800 series will be in a hybrid performance bracket like the 5830, 5770 and such was in. I'm guessing the performance bracket, aka 5850 & higher, will be 6900?

I heard a rumor that the new high end will be a 6970 and not the 6870. If that's true then I think the dual core cards will return to the X2 label, aka 6970X2

Yup thats what the rumors suggest. Also as per that TPU article, a few cards will be simply rebranded from 57XX to 67XX.
