HIS Radeon HD6850 1024MB PCIe (H685F1GD)

Zitat: + Sehr hohe Leistung + Leiser Lüfter - Wenig Ausstattung

Zitat: Pro: + Decent DX11 performance + Not a bad price Contra: - Outperformed by 1GB GTX 460 - Poor DX10 display

Zitat: + Spieleleistung, Stromverbrauch + Unter Windows leise - Ausstattung

Zitat: Typisches Referenzlayout: Leise unter Windows, laut unter Last. Ansonsten genug Leistung für jedes Spiel in HD-Auflösung

Zitat: The HD 6850 in itself is a great card and a great introduction to the HD 6000 series. When we looked at the 1120 cards in Crossfire and HD 6870 in Crossfire, we saw how strong Crossfire performance was and how it has seemed to really improve since the HD 5000 series. With the HD 6900 series being delayed till December, making it possible that getting one before the holidays could be near impossible, you have to start thinking about what video card setup you should be using when you get some time off. While we haven’t tested the GTX 580 yet, it does seem like a good option. The problem at the moment is it’s expensive, and the second issue is stock with 11 being listed on Newegg and only two being available which both cost over $500. Dual card setups continue to be a slight turn off for some people, but there’s really very little reason to not look at it these days. The power requirements of a setup like the one we’re looking at today aren’t major and performance is extremely strong. The most important thing you need to look at is scaling and it’s not uncommon to see gains of nearly 100% which means that the value in the setup is very strong. For under $400 you’re going to get a great setup here that most people are going to really enjoy. The optimum resolution for the HD 6850 in Crossfire would probably be 1920 x 1200, because you can see just about everything we play at that resolution gets a average of 60 FPS which is exactly what you want. The performance compared to our 1120 cards is slightly down, but that doesn’t come as a surprise. Overall, its performance continues to be very good and that’s the most important thing. The performance you get for a setup that costs a good chunk under $400 is very impressive thanks to the improved scaling AMD has given us. Add in other nice features like the improved Tessellation numbers along with the good heat and noise numbers and you’ve got a really nice setup that most people are going to be happy with. All we’ve got to do now is look at what happens when we overclock this already impressive Crossfire setup. Stay tuned for another article later this week!
