The new cards are also designed to offer shaders speeds up to 800, this should ensure that graphics are consistent, crisp and life-like. With 1 GB DDR5 ram and the core speed (775 MHz in the HD 6850, 900 MHz in the HD 6870) gaming can get quite intense now. XFX AMD Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 graphics cards also include the second generation of DirectX 11-capable graphics cards. High-end and 3D ready, what more can you ask for? With up to 120 Hz active shutter technology, the quality of 3-D achievable with the AMD Radeon HD 6870 and HD 6850 is definitely going to be one to compete with.Īs part of the AMD Open Stereo 3-D initiative, AMD has teamed up with other Open 3-D ecosystem partners to provide consumers with “more choice, more innovation and lower cost.” These standards will help make AMD Radeon solutions more readily compatible with a broader range of choices for building a computer with a stereo 3-D solution including hardware, software, middleware, glasses as well as displays. So this advance into Stereoscopic 3-D, although it does usher in a new era of gaming, it’s not yet affordable for the masses.
