by the given reason of why they moving up their model numbers, they are probably naming fusion as 62XX -> 66XX maybe.
So i actually dunno why AMD wanna name their fusion as their GPU model. As fusion is completely different from GPU, it is not a GPU alone but also a CPU.

idealtech has hd6870 below rm800 and hd6850 below rm750 iinm.
imo we can expect the prices to reflect the official msrp in a months time or so

most 6850 is under rm700 iinm

what's 6850 and 6870 length?

dont want bring back home and not fit in casing

dookie's post:

6850 at 599 is reasonable

u can check it out on youtube... search for Linus tech tips and its one of the 3 newest vids around.. comparing the 6970, 5870 and gtx480....

P/S: the 6870 is about 1/2 inch shorter than the 5870

the 6870 about 9.75"

i guess i'll be waiting for HD6870m will inherit the HD6 series newly added features.

actually i would expect 6850 to cost Rm500 eventually, this chip is smaller and 40nm is much matured compare to 5850 days so they have more yields. I hope it can drop to RM400+

400+ too low. even 5770 is around 550~599. so expected price maybe above 600~700. maybe?...

Do you guys think 6870 could fit centurion 5?

6850 is RM650

Yes, while Radeon HD6870 is around RM 750.
These are all Non-OC Edition, I hope the OC Edition will be launched soon.

How much will the ASUS 6850 DirectCu cost at LYP?

the cheapest HD5770 is RM429/Cycom
imo if you want a HD6850 at RM4XX then wait for the HD78XX to release first

a HD6870 will fit in a CM Centurion 5 with around 3cm to spare

some review said that both of these card not really a ocer

both cards,based on reviews max out at 950mhz core,which means the HD6870 is quite a bad ocer,but the HD6850 is a good one

Hope the reviews are fake. So, we can have more juice out from them.

Well actually..dont trust review so much about overclocking..they just sucks.

Many overclockers managed to get more than the one showed in review.

if there is a range distance of 10inches, then it can fit the 6870~~

Very true. Some reviewers are coward and don't dare to push.
Some are awesome, especially Guru3D's.
