AMD Radeon HD 6970 benchmark numbers leaked?

AMD might have just launched the new Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 graphics cards a week ago, but many are already looking forward to the company's real high-end offering: the Cayman-based Radeon HD 6970. We don’t expect the new cards to hit stores until sometime next month, but Chinese-language site Zol.com claims to have got its hands on a sample and has posted some benchmark results for the world to see.

The site’s numbers cover both 3DMark Vantage and the Unigine Heaven benchmark, with the Radeon HD 6970 allegedly scoring 23,499 on the first one while delivering 36.6fps on the Unigine benchmark running at 1920 x 1,080 with 4x anti-aliasing and 16x anisotropic filtering. By comparison, a GTX 480 on the same platform scored 21,106 in 3DMark and ran Unigine Heaven at 29.5fps, while an HD 5870 managed 19,337 and 17.3, respectively.

Going by these numbers it looks like AMD’s upcoming card will bring a 10% performance improvement over Nvidia’s flagship card, the GTX 480, while boasting around 20% greater performance the Radeon HD 5870 it’s replacing. With the Radeon HD 6870 putting on an impressive show, we're definitely looking forward to see how the new Cayman-based Radeon cards perform. For now, though, we’ll take this leak with a grain of salt.

Just stay tuned for more leaked infos and benchmarks.

It happened too to my friend's desktop pc which i recently custom build it with a HD 6870.when i 1st saw it on windows live messenger 2011,i was like WTF....went to smoke for 5mins then suddenly thought about the MLAA could be the culprit.When to off it at Catalyst CC and woila,

awaiting cayman gpus...feels so long more...

anyone spotted sapphire 6870 vaporx or xfx 6870 black edition yet?

man...so slow...and i ady plan to go buy hd 6870 this weekend.

Accelero XTREME Plus is compatible with hd 6870 but not with 6850 o.o

Agree big time.they just really need to do that.

I bought it for Rm749 from C-Zone.it was the last of the last unit.Viewnet,ALL IT and other shops no longer have stock for this model. Idle temps is at 46'C but if u notice my pics,i have a soundcard directly below the GC.

The fan is indeed loud if it's running at high speed.Am using default 10.10e AMD drivers.

Well,i havent really tried anything particular except FurMark which could really run up the temps.but apparently Catalyst isnt controlling the fan properly.i think i need to experiment with Sapphire TriXX for Fan control.

Currently 44"C with 22% fan.
