AMD Radeon HD 6800 Series Specifications Leaked
Specifications of the upcoming Radeon HD 6800 series GPUs have already been doing rounds for the last couple of days, and ChipHell.com finally managed to leak an alleged press-deck of the HD 6800 series that discloses the GPUs' specifications and some key features that AMD will introduce with this generation. What can be said looking at the slides is that AMD seems to have stepped up performance/die-size big time (up to 35% increase in performance per mm²), with some reconfiguring of key components. It also redesigned the GPUs to have up to 100% increase in tessellation performance, new image-quality enhancements, a new video acceleration engine (UVD 3), and a redesigned display IO with 2nd Gen. Eyefinity technology that can let users of standard variants drive up to six displays with a single card.
Specifications of the HD 6870 are: 1120 stream processors, 32 ROPs, 56 TMUs, 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface holding 1 GB, clock speeds of 900/1050(4200) MHz core/memory(effective), and idle/max board power of 19W/151W. For the HD 6850, it's 960 stream processors, 32 ROPs, 48 TMUs, 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface holding 1 GB, clock speeds of 775/1000(4000) MHz, idle/max board power of 19W/127W.

Did I scared you? :laugh:
No offence, I'm just trying to make a joke... :D
That's how late nvidia has been....:(, why don't they release a dual GTX460??, antilles is coming in 2 months...
nvidia needs to release GTX475 and the GTX460x2(or whatever the name is) soon.
PD: I was thinking, do you remember the msrp of the 5850 the first time? 250 USD, it didn't stay like that until now, but technically we're getting slightly more performance(5%) for the same price with the 6870 :laugh:, so the price for the 6870 should be 199 USD
@ Mcc and bear jesus
Yes, I meant that I wouldn't call 52% vs 48% a majority, with majority == most off it
Man, I wonder who are the clever ppl who timed all these correctly? I mean, the 5xxx series is very much a dx10+ card with a complete set of features from dx11. however, the 5xxx card was never really gonna perform well in a native dx11 game. ATI still successful though since we only see very few native dx11 game, which means 5xxx owners will most likely play dx10 or dx9 games.
Now, the 6xxx series will be out and it is meant to be a full-scale dx11 card. Like Nvidia, ATI have to sacrifice some shader (dx10 related) performance and fill that gap with tessellation performance (dx11). However, this is the perfect time to see a real dx11 game card since there are more native dx11 games to come including the famous 3dmark11.
I have very high expectations from this weekend's launch!
