[QUOTE=BmB;24756726]I think the idea with the design is airflow and not mindlessly blowing on the GPU. Which means the intake shouldn't be bigger than the outlet.[/QUOTE]
what airflow? so it blows on hot components and then hot air runs over the GPU and goes wherever it pleases?
Takes in air from fan, blows over every component and finally exits through the rear grilling maybe? That seems pretty obvious.

there is no "airflow", the fan just blows on the hot components at the end, that air then moves over the GPU and RAM

Read mine, air isn't useless as a convection medium the moment it touches anything slightly warm.

If the 6870 beats the GTX 480 by 20%, then imagine the 6970.

That, and overclocking.
where's the crysis benchmark
I can't wait for nvidia to bleed.

Didn't we have this like, back in 2006?
i would expect better results out of that, i get better performance out of two gtx460s. and perhaps i'm unfamiliar, is ATI/AMD's memory architecture different or is 256-bit a little low?
They introduced the 256-bit ringbus design with the 2900 but apparently found it was a bit overkill so after that they scaled it back down to 128-bit.
I don't think they ever scaled it back up until now.
so more than 256-bit isn't completely necessary for them? got it got it

If you think AMD's drivers are crap when they are released, think about the ones that they have months before release.

Wow, that card's performance is not as impresssive as I was expecting
40+ on 1920x1200 4x aa?
What did you expect? Jesus himself? That's pretty damn good that.

It's not a new architecture so don't expect any miracles.

Wow, that's nice. I hope it's not at the ~$450-$500 price range.
[QUOTE=Wiggles;24824164]It's not a new architecture so don't expect any miracles.[/QUOTE]
From posts I saw it's following AMD's odd archetecture system. 2xxx was new architecture, but mild performance. 3xxx was refined 2xxx architecture. 4xxx was really refined 3xxx architecture. 5k was a new design, and 6k is a revamp of the 5k design.
This may be bullshit, but just posting it.
I think 4000 was a new design too, what with the whole terascale marketing schlos and dx10.1 stuff?!
Not entirely new but certainly worth mentioning.
I don't know why they had to go fuck up the naming scheme. I don't see what was wrong with the current one. Now we have 5870=6970, 5970=6990, 5770=6850(Barts Pro), and basically another slightly faster 5770=6870(Barts XT). Why must they play with us like this?
Where did they fuck up the naming scheme exactly? 5870 -> 6870 etc. so far as I can see.

what
[QUOTE=Odellus;24827403]what[/QUOTE]
AMD's next generation mid-range GPU is code-named Barts. As previously revealed Barts will be the first graphics circuit to market in October, but it will be named Radeon HD 6800, while Cayman will be saved for the Radeon HD 6900 series.
According to reliable sources AMD will now revise its naming scheme and move up the mid-range models to the HD x800 series where we previously say performance models including the flagship Radeon HD 5870 and the Cypress GPU.
Barts is the successor to Juniper in the mid-range segment, but performs so well that AMD has decided to give the mid-range chip higher status. Barts will be launched in two versions, Barts XT and Barts Pro. These cards will become Radeon HD 6870 and Radeon HD 6850 respectively. Radeon HD 6870 will be the first to come with a launch slated for late October. When Radeon HD 6850 will arrive hasn't been confirmed.
That Barts will be offering good performance for a mid-range circuit is pretty obvious, but exactly how good is not as certain, but more information should appear very soon.
According to other sources to NordicHardware AMD will start shipping reference cards to manufacturers and partners this week, for testing and evaluation. We can confirm that several manufacturers have tested the card and performance is said to be on par with Radeon HD 5850.
As revealed in previous posts Barts will be follows by the performance circuit Caymen in November (the true successor to Cypress) and Antilles, AMD's dual-Caymen card. These cards will be launched as the Radeon HD 6900 series where Antilles will be named Radeon HD 6990. Most likely we will also find Radeon HD 6970 and Radeon HD 6950 in this series, based on Caymen XT and Caymen Pro.
