One card, six displays

The Radeon HD 6000 family of cards will also be the first to support DisplayPort 1.2 which allows up to three monitors to be hooked up to a single port. As the cards come with two DisplayPorts, they will be able to output images to six displays at a max resolution of 2,560 x 1,600-pixels.

It will also be possible to drive the monitors at completely ­different resolutions for the best gaming experience, said Skinner.

AMD is a little slow to the 3D stereoscopic gaming but that is only because it didn't want to go the proprietary route like its rival ­nVidia which currently only supports its own 3D vision ­hardware, Skinner claimed.

Although the company already had limited 3D support for some of its older graphics cards, its new approach in software and hardware will allow users to pick their own components for their 3D gaming and movie rig.

For the hardware part, AMD will support a number of 3D glasses such as shutter glasses as well as passive displays that don't require glasses at all.

In terms of software, the new Radeon HD 6000 series graphics cards will work with popular 3D conversion applications such as those from DDD and iZ3D.

Currently, over 400 titles are supported by the stereo 3D ­conversion software from the two companies.

What PSU is your customer using there for dual 6870

It's simply because HD6870 and HD6850 is using the same exact chip, albeit different BIOS. The OC'abilty of the chip is the same. Both can reach ~930MHz, but since HD6870 is already clocked at 900MHz, the gain is not that much. To distinguish HD6850 and HD6870, they purposely clock the HD6850 at 775MHz. It's purely a marketing decision -- to release 2 SKUs to counter GTX460's 2 SKUs.

AMD could've released HD6850 at 900MHz SKU, but chooses not to, as it will kill HD6870. Just as NVIDIA, they could easily release 800MHz GTX460, but that will kill off GTX465 and GTX470.

Just got my Sapphire hd6870 but playing COH with jagg line before that nothing wrong can anyone using 6870 help solve this problem, i might try to reinstall window later, need some input to solve this problem, any sifu can help.

dis is yielding.
in chip world, every chip has @ least 1 "younger brother". it is to improve yield.

the "younger brother" chip is basically cripple version of the original chip.

simply put it dis way, 6870 has 1120 sp, 6850 has 960.
wen ati order this chip from TSMC, impossible TSMC can produce 100% perfect chip.
those perfect chip will b made into 6870, while those wit som leakage, or problem, the problematic sp will b disabled & made i into 6850.

only those chip which has <960 working sp will b thrown away.
like dis, less chip is wasted.

wow i did not know that
so the cacat chip is made into a slower version of the card eh
man they really know how to milk every sen out of it
gah, another guy wit jagg line problem?
my sapphire hd6870 still on the way arriving, tis is really giving my doubt

Jagged lines across the screen? It may be a symptom of overheating.

Download HW-Monitor by CPU-ID and monitor the temperatures of your HD6870 . If they seem fine, maybe your card may be a faulty unit.

Overclockable to 99% of 6870's performance. at RM600, 6850 is a real bargain     

69xx is suppost to be in which price range? RM1xxx like 59xx?

i think 6950 shld be like the price of 5850 when it launch, and 5970 as 5870~
