Radeon HD 6870 is the second in a series of new GPU-optimized for DirectX 11 games. Despite the naming conventions, however, the 6870 is not AMD, AOS new GPU plateau: The 6870 is more comparable to the old 5850, but, AOS much cheaper and consume significantly less power. The real objectives here AMD is gunning for NVIDIA, 768 MB participant's average price and a GeForce Go 460.
XFX, SOA take on the Radeon HD 6870 HEWS much closer to AMD, the reference design of the participant that their Radeon HD 6850 card does (you can read the review here), with a mounting bracket with two mini-DisplayPort 1.2 connector , an HDMI 1.4a, a dual-link DVI and one single-link DVI. XFX, AO base clock speeds and memory are the same as the AMD reference design SOA: 900 - and 1050 MHz, respectively.
The table is used to spec explains why the Radeon HD 6870 fails to overcome the older part upscale: The new GPU has 480 stream processors less, 24 texture units less, and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory works at a slower clock speed (1,050 MHz 1200 MHz cons). The 6870, the clock speed of the participant base, on the other hand, runs 50MHz faster than the older 5870 (900 MHz against 850 MHz).
In spite of operating at clock speeds of reference, design, XFX, AOS take on the Radeon HD 6870 reference delivered impressive compared to 768 MB and 1 GB overclocked GeForce GTX 460 cards we've tested, and an overclocked Radeon HD 5870. The Radeon HD 6870 boasts exceptional price / performance ratio, with an even more impressive performance per watt ratio. This card is definitely a winner.
