AMD Radeon HD 6700 Series ''Barts'' Specs Sheet Surfaces

[bear jesus]

no it is not true and is the most idiotic rumor I've seen in all releases of new products. I've never seen a manufacturer release a new series in the name scheme of the former highend that performed less than it.

barts is the 6700 series and anyone who says differently is in charlie's pocket.

That has to be the worst rumor i have heard in a long time, so many people were quoting the "new" names without quoting a source so i carryed on hoping that amd would not be that stupid.

I for one am looking forward to the amd 6870 cayman chip

But isn't that what everyone is doing in this thread?, every other post is speculation or what they would like to see, when someone pointed out the shitty drivers ATI/AMD uses and it's a fact form what people are saying, then that's just the truth, big deal. Are you that much of ''fan'' that as soon as anyone mentions a competitors name in a an AMD thread you assume it's a fanboy trying to derail from your ''fun''?

no i'm not fan of either side, i even build several computer with nvdia, but its hard to follow this thread if someone keep derailing this thread and debate in here without having any relation, and yes they will be ruined my "fun"

I see what you're saying and i agree, but that ''fun'' is the same thing you're complaining about, everyone is speculating and pushing out rumor talk and if that's the case and you consider it not fun and ''derailified'' lol, then this thread has been derailed for a while now.

I'm liking these specs. Time to move out of the green camp.

With 2 g285's are you sure you would not rather wait and see the amd 6870 caymen spec?

I can't help but keep bringing it up, yes i know the barts spec's are looking very nice but it is still the caymen chip that has me the most excited as it is the chip that could stop me buying a pair of gtx460's.

Agreed.

If you're impressed by barts then caymen should be monstrous. Just hope it's decently priced.

 

[bear jesus]

Just hope it's decently priced.

I admit if it is powerful enough i would not mind too much paying a reasonably expensive price but i admit i would not be too happy if it was a $600 card, as far as i'm concerned the days of paying that much for a single chip gpu should be well and dead.

 

[mdsx1950]

I wouldn't mind paying a $1000 for a single GPU card if it can perform atleast a 20% more than the HD 5970.

 

[WarEagleAU]

The 6770 and 6750 wont be their high end will it?

 

[bear jesus]

I wouldn't mind paying a $1000 for a single GPU card if it can perform atleast a 20% more than the HD 5970.

To be honest in that situation i would rather it perfrom 20% faster than the 5970's thats have the same clocks as the 5870, if they had perfect 100% scaling and be a 2gb card that could easly clock to 1ghz core speed but i would not really want to pay over $800..... ok that's enough dreaming for now

That's insane lol.

It's inevitable that we will get single GPU cards that will beat out a 5970, that's the way of technology, but i sure as well wouldn't pay $1000 for it.

Then again if you're rich and can spend that kind of money on hardware, then have at it. I'll be going with whatever is below that card more likely. lol

 

[jaredpace]

I would like for him to point out and quote specifically the portion of both pics that shows a bart as a 6800 series...

 

[bear jesus]

I just took a look at nordichardware.com to get excited to see an article about the 6870 and 6850 only to read it and feel like this

AMD Radeon HD 6870 and 6850 launches on October 18th

What do you all think about that?

 

[erocker]

I think the only official looking anything from AMD says these cards are the 6750 and 6770. Look at the chart in the first post. All of these websites claim all this other information with no sources. Either way, I could care less what they are called.

Ok i admit you are right, really it should not matter what they call them and the only minor concern is people thinking a 6870 beats a 5970 but i geuss i should not worry as i would not be one of those people.

cayman xt won't be double up from barts, which will continue the current speculation of 1920:96:64 512bit bus, not previously thought to be 2560:128:64 configuration that's double up from barts. consider the die size will be incredibly huge if the ALU is 640.

 

[BondExtreme]

Can't wait to see the prices on the 6k series. I can almost be sure though it will be better than Nvidia's new series. But I am not going to say that as a fact. Yet.

 

[cheezburger]

Wonderful. I thanks for stating the same thing over and over again. Of course, most people think you're wrong.

then bring some evidence to prove me wrong and how many people think i'm wrong???o_0

because cayaman will still be 32rops and 256bit bus?

so much of 1920:120:32 or 2560:128:"32" + 256biy bus + 7GT GDDR5 ram unless amd just want to make mainstream card only but that'll be different story.

let me tell you something about bus currently both NV and amd are using 32bit bus per ring which on 512bit(2900xt, gtx280) it will need 16 ram ic to maintain the hard wiring on PCB layout design...however if they can tweak the ping bus size from 32bit to 64 bit per ring then here we go...a 512bit bus.

Wonderful. I thanks for stating the same thing over and over again. Of course, most people think you're wrong. *Bringing evidence against speculation will happen when AMD makes formal announcements. You don't need to "tell" me anything. Keep dreaming though if it makes you happy.

i'd like to wait for that announcement as well which how much you want to bet for cayman's official specification?

 

[erocker]

Sounds great. I'll wait for launch. Enjoy your speculation.

AMD will not use a 512-bit wide memory interface. Wanna bet?

 

[1badtechdude]

OMG the 6770 is sweet, I think I found an upgrade to my 8800! VERY thankful I skipped the current gen cards. Now AMD just has to stop releasing a new gen every damn year!

It has become cozy with that. Autumn-Winter time is new AMD GPU time. Spring-Summer time is new NVIDIA GPU time.

He gets my GT 240 if it does have a 512-bit bus. That's a promise... and if he/she wants it.

What do I get if it doesn't?

 

[erocker]

My GT 240.. if you want it. If you don't want it, you get a sense of satisfaction spurred by common sense.
