that one use voltage tweak, not as stable
but most higher end amd cards are like dis oso, less oc headroom

to me, better get that 6850, can reach 6870 performance.
no point in buying 6870 with such a small headroom for oc.
its not that 6870 is bad, you can oc and still get more performance from it,
but 6850 simply better price to performance ratio


tldr;
6870 not worth, better wait 6950/6970

get 5850 for performance
6850 better in terms of power consumption, as its only use 1 6 pin cable
1 6pin pcie cable gc oso means 400w psu friendly gc...lol, if your psu is 400-450w

wow...7k series...
28nm, sure will run a lot cooler and better performance per watt

I think its just rumor la...q2 2011 is too soon
amd sure are preparing, but I think the date would be q3 2011.

if only the ppl with the leaked images also leak benchmarks...
leaked benchmarks and leak images from 2 different sources

yup.new naming scheme confuses ppl.
it was named 6850 and 6870 cos 5770 is apparently too successful...
so, if they name it to 6750 and 6770, ppl would lose interest with the 5 series line up.
they dont want to replace a good selling card, they want to keep them as long as they can, hence the new naming scheme.

when ppl lose interest in 5 series,
they will rename 5770 to 6770...lol

ps: theres a typo...it should be 5770, not 5570 like the header.the news content is fine
