HIS HD 6850 Fan 1GB Eyefinity Pro Reviews

TechRadar UK‘s review Edit

One can't help but feel the HD 6850's day will come, but it isn't here yet. Every card is subject to price drops over time, and when that process brings the HD 6850 down below the GTX 460 line, it'll hit the absolute sweet spot.

techPowerUp!‘s review Edit

As mentioned before, HIS has sent us a HD 6850 card that seemed to be based on an engineering sample GPU from AMD. As a result our card ran with 1120 shaders, when it shouldhave 960 instead. This would have resulted in an unfair performance increase that the regular customer would not get. Since neither HIS nor AMD could help us get our card fixed we had to take things into our own hands and manually reconfigured the card to run at the proper configuration. If you see HD 6850 reviews that show surprisingly high performance numbers, ask the reviewer to double-check using GPU-Z or fillrate tests.

tweaktown‘s review Edit

The HD 6850 in itself looks to be a winner. When you pair it with a second, though, the performance is really very strong. It’s surprising to see how strong performance is when you pair two cards together; it’s not unusual for us to see performance gains of 100% in some situations. Sure, Crossfire performance isn’t perfect, nor is SLI, but this is some really impressive performance here and we’re sure that people are going to be interested in running a pair of these cards together. As always, overall value drops a little when it comes to multi card setups, but it’s still very strong.
