Thread: Powercolor Radeon HD 6850

Having already that of the Radeon HD 6850 and the Radeon HD 6870 reference design, we have seen, it is now to see what different manufacturers from the template by making the AMD. The Radeon HD 6850 is probably reference design of retail suppliers in the market are not made as though AMD has done a decent job here for our opinion. Skip to launch their own designs, there are already partners of AMD in abundance, many of them quite promising.



This naturally raises the question of who gets the most out of the Radeon HD 6850 and who brings out the best performance for the best price. Already the Radeon HD 5850 and 5870 Power color PCS has distinguished himself with his models, the "Plus" version Moderate overclocked are in and also a very good cooling and quiet operating cooling feature. Such a success we are of course not, and therefore also comes from the Radeon HD 6850 PCS a similar version that the PCS but not with the name. Plus, there's the overclocked PCS + version to do so. The normal version of the Radeon HD 6850 runs this time with the standard clock, but has a cooler with 90mm fan.

With the sample of this card we received a BIOS fix that blue screen problems with Crossfire operation and also eliminates the clock speeds of the card up to 1000 MHz GPU and 1250 MHz memory clock opens. Since we are already the standard HD 6850 Radeon have tested the clock and the Power Color card here delivers the same performance values, we have the card through our entire benchmark run with clock rates 975 MHz GPU core and 1175 MHz memory clock hunted.
