Perhaps wait a couple more weeks or not?, seems like all AMD Radeon 6870 are reference cooler design
Asus, Gaybyte, MSI, Sap

Nice GC, not to say BEST GC but you need an appropriate PSU to power it up. (500W)
What's ur budget?

Probably due to overheat
since it works again when u apply new thermal paste.

lol, I try 3DMark11 and got P3395 3DMarks on my new Sapphire HD6850

Got an error during benchmark - "Graphics driver is not approved"

C-Zone is selling Sapphire ATI Radeon HD5870 1GB GDDR5 Vapor-X now @ RM999 [Christmas Promotion]

Check out the Sapphire @ Vietnam Edition.


I like the case only

I got some random dark spot (~0.5sec) while I play DotA. It's like some flickering black spot.
No laggy, fps ~60.
Never happen before on my old rig.

Any HD6-series card here having this problem?

The video I posted a while back.

and C-Zone will have it soon.


Any1 who insterested to buy it but hate the case, sell it to me cheap cheap

On load it consumes around ~250Watts.
Run should be no problem but u putting heavy stress on ur PSU.
In the end, it could damage some of ur pc components (worst case).

Get a true power PSU of minimum 500W.

YESH, finally a reply on this. I tot it's just me. I posted here a few weeks go, asking any1 having this issue but no reply.
Guess it's the driver problem that causes this?
On my old rig, no problem. Smooth with avg fps 60. I tot the GC too powerful to handle such an old game

Oh ya, with my old rig, I get avg 60fps but I'm having the same fps with my new rig also. Tot will get bit higher like 65-68fps.
Max for War3 is 60fps?

Let's say I enable 4xAA and set all to high settings, for sure the fps will be around 30-35fps. (GPU stress)
-- Lower FPS, save power?

If medium settings, fps around 60-65fps. (GPU less stress)
-- High FPS, waste power?

well, I may be wrong but just to voice up.

so now u saying better get a proper GPU so that will not stress the GPU much and save power,etc,etc
*cheapskate GPU*? well, how i wish every1 rich like u.


huh?


If u feel hurt about it, don't reply my post.

nono, I think there's a misunderstanding here.

I just asking why my War3 fps same with my old rig. That is all.
Then someone bring up that lesser fps is better = save power,etc etc.

Just wonder only. Why? an old War3 doesn't deserve a standard to check fps?
and u misread my question. Sigh. leave it.

yup, at least now nothing can be done. . .just wait till next driver.
Now sure this issue causes by new GC or AMD 6000 series only.

ST50F
Sure it can, even AMD recommend 500W

I dam love XFX's design especially their latest Dual-Fan on HD6870.
Right, Top, Side, Left, . . . so sexy on every angle

same here, showing my previous driver version.
but. . .

No more flickering when playing DotA
