There's no guarantee that the GPU is being pushed as hard as other titles might do, and the load will vary from play through to play through.Įventually then, we've decided to use 3DMark06's Canyon Flight test as a real world representative, repeatable graphics test. Conversely, simply leaving a game like Crysis running at a certain point also isn't reflective of real world use. It's such a hardcore test that any GPU under test is almost guaranteed to hit its thermal limit, the mark at which the card's firmware will kick in, speeding up the fan to keep the GPU within safe temperature limits. We've found that synthetic benchmarks such as FurMark thrash the GPU constantly, which simply isn't reflective of how GPU will be used when gaming. For enthusiasts without bottomless pockets, who want a powerful card today, the HD 6870 is the best choice.Power Consumption (Idle and Gaming)Putting realistic, repeatable load on a GPU to get a decent idea of its real world power consumption and thermal output has long been something we've experimented here at bit-tech. VS YouTube NEW About 51201 Release date Q2 2014. Rumour has it that ATI’s next generation ‘Cayman’ cards are only just around the corner, but we reckon that these will be priced well beyond the reach of most gamers. UserBenchmark: AMD HD 6870 vs Radeon R7 Graphics COMPARE AMD AMD 541,102 Release date Q2 2014. With performance gains of around 40% over the GTX 460 1GB in our tests, it’s well worth the extra £20. Prices have ended up being about £25 cheaper than we were initially led to believe.

The HD 6870 isn’t jaw-dropping, but for those who want to upgrade from a 4000-series, or older, graphics card they do provide a lot of graphical power for the money. It idles at just 19W, a significant improvement of 50% over the older cards. This is the same as the HD 5850, so you’re getting more graphical power per watt. The card draws 151W under load, which requires two PCI-Express 6-pin power connectors.

The DisplayPort 1.2 connectors still provide Eyefinity multi-monitor support, but new breakout hubs (more details yet to be announced) will allow you to connect these to DVI or HDMI equipped monitors.

HDMI 1.4a is the latest standard and adds support for all the current 3D standards, plus support for resolutions up 3,840x2,160 – often professionally referred to as 4K displays and found in the best digital cinemas. It’s these latter ports that provide the new features on the card, which are otherwise thin on the ground.

This card was one of the better cards for the 6000 series in general. The Double D stands for double dissipate to get the heat off the card. I got this Card from a friend of mine cause he bought a new one and didnt use this one anymore. This benchmark is going to be on the XFX Radeon HD 6870 Double D. I recently Changed my graphics card from a palit nvidia 9800gt(old one, i know :P) to a XFX ati Radeon HD 6870 because i like to play games and the old one didnt do its job anymore. These are joined by a full-sized HDMI 1.4a port and two DisplayPort 1.2 mini connectors. Since we did benchmarks on our 7000 series graphic cards we also decided to benchmark one of our older cards. There’s a pair of DVI ports, as you’d expect, but only one is dual-link, while the other is single-link (supporting resolutions up to 1,920x1,200). On the rear of the card is a big selection of connectors. The big black heat sink on our reference test card stayed reasonably cool during testing, and fan noise was less than the older cards. The card itself measures 245mm in length, around the same as the old HD 5850.
