We tested at 1080p with fullscreen: on, antialiasing:on , Anisotrophic filtering: 16x, Shadow Quality: High, Ambient Occlusion: on, Geometry Detail: High and APEX PhysX: off.
The Black Edition is only 2 fps slower than the MSI Talon, which is a massively overclocked GTX460 card. It outperforms both the eVGA GTX460 768mb superclocked edition and the reference GTX460.
Shit on a stick, thats insane clocks man!
Ohhhh lovely. their modded cooler is good. shame its a tiny bit louder, but we can forgive it with those insane clocks.
ill buy a few of these I think for christmas 😉
First HD6850 over 1ghz, very sexy indeed. XFX are really taking it to Sapphire lately.
Heh, this is the start of extreme solutions. I can predict some amazing overclocks before christmas.
Absolutely stunning card, hope the price isnt much higher though.
I am not that interested in the core clock increases set in the bios, the potential overhead is what I love about the black edition boards. they have been doing this for years really and im stunned they got a 6850 black edition out so early. nice scoop KG.
Its AMD lovin on kitguru 🙂
Have to hand it to XFX< they are showing their worth as a partner for AMD. nvidia must be crying into their cornflakes.
cocks.
oh, this will make a nice christmas present, I just need to persuade the missus to fork out for it. fat chance.
Damn it, I wasn’t expecting this so quick. XFX got the edge on Sapphire.
but for how long? 1.1ghz possible before christmas? I think so.
XFX + AMD = Great Combo
XFX – NVIDIA = All 4 AMD
NVIDIA You Where Stupid To Let XFX Go As A Partner
To all the dumbasses saying Nvidia dropped XFX;
Get your bloody facts right – XFX dropped Nvidia when they made the 400-series cards.
