The HD 6700 release will be followed up by Cayman in November, expected to be branded as the ATI Radeon HD 6800 series, replacing the current HD 5800 series.
The flagship will be Antilles, and branded as the ATI Radeon HD 6970. Antilles, as expected, will be a dual-GPU Cayman. While the HD 5970 lowers clock speeds from the HD 5870, HD 6970 is expected to feature the same clock speeds as the HD 6870 - basically a HD 6870 in CF. This will be much like the HD 4870 X2. The Radeon HD 6970 is scheduled for December.

The first HD 6000 GPU to be released will be the Radeon HD 6700 series, codenamed Barts. The HD 6700 is scheduled for a release as early as October. As suggested by the nomenclature, the HD 6700 will directly replace the HD 5700 series.

Yes, I've been following this topic vigourously seeing as im going to be upgrading my graphics card this year, from 9800GT -> 6850? or 5890? although depending on pricing I may choose to buy a 5870? I won't need UVD for a good while nor will I be doing eyefinity so if there isn't alot of upgrades in features to the new series I may stick with the old lot.
Depending on performance, pricing and TDP I could be swayed etheir way, At the moment however I think I'll be going for a MSi hawk/Asus DirectCU/HIS OC? maybe
Can't wait for nov.

I read that the 6700 would need 2 6 pin connectors and would support a new eyefinity called eyefinity 4 which you could probably guess is support for 4 monitors.
Cant see how that would equal better/less power consumption. Of course the article i read could have been mixing up the cards as its not exactly crystal yet is it.

dose any one know if this card is going to be 40nm or the next step down? If they are going to release the card as a lower powered card then could that mean that they are shrinking the die to 30nm or so?
Wish I could have waited before I got the 5870 but my other card the 4850 was starting to die and I wanted DX 11

whats actually is refresh?Do manufractures just crank up the card specification and call it a refresh. said:

not to be confused with the term rebadge by nvidia. where the very same chip gets a brand new sticker on top of it (example: 8800gs -> 9600gso, 9800gtx+ -> gts250) and marketed as new.

Haha making fun of nVidia, one of my favorite things, I also like long walks on the beach
Can't wait for SI. the anticipation has been killing me since I found out a month or so ago.

someone put up leaked benches a while ago. As many people expected it had about a 25-30% increase in performance across the board, which considering its still 40nm isnt bad. That would put the 6870 above the gtx 480 in performance. Hopefully the tesselation will be improved on the 6xxx series. But until we get 100% legit benches who knows. I'd buy a 6870 or two for xfire if they do have a 30% perf increase over the 5870, to replace my gtx 295. However i am saving for bulldozer and a new mobo, and im not sitting on a bank

I'm hoping for some serious improvements in crossfire scaling. The GTX 4xx series has such good scaling that it makes it hard for me to look elsewhere since I don't upgrade regularly so a dual card setup is likely to happen at some point.
I want to see at least a little more performance, better tessellation, and better crossfire scaling

but there are rumors said that the hd 6000 series will not have a significant improvement in performance compared to hd 5000 series... so i don't understand what's the selling point for hd 6000 series?? also if i go for ati i would only stick with single gpu as their cfirex scaling is poor than sli....

So far it seems like it'll be a good 20-30% across the board, which is definitely important, it's just not the HUGE MAJOR MUST-HAVE like a new gen. often is. And Crossfire scaling is close to SLI, and very good (esp. if you consider where SLI/CF were just a few years ago.)

But, can it play Crysis? At Very High, 1920x1200, 4x AA, the HD 6870 comfortably plays along at 43.55 fps. The minimum fps is 29.57. Crysis has been well and truly conquered at HD resolutions with high IQ settings. At these kind of settings, previous single GPU cards barely broke 30 fps average, which means the HD 6870's minimum framerate is the same as the average of HD 5870 / GTX 480.

Yes, there's expected to be a 6970 and 6950, The 6950 isn't expected to be released until the 6970 actually gets competition however (this is the same case as the 5xxx series but seeing as theres no competition for the 5970 theres no need to release a 5950)
The 6970 is effectively going to be 2x 5870's on a single PCB according to what I've heard.

for the time being there are so little info about hd 6000 series even its going to the market later this year... i don't knw hw gud 6850 will be but i assume it should be better if not alot better than hd 5000 series... i'm also eyeing the hd 6000 series....
despite just purchased a gtx 460 1gb recently.... this card is really bang for buck!!!!
just hopefully when the hd 6000 series is out... there will be less driver issues with that series....

Possible 6870? Seems within reason. Interestingly enough, the memory bandwidth is actually a greater increase over the 5870, than the 5870 was over the 4870. 5870 was 153 GB/s, 4870 was 115 GB/s. This shows this possible 6870 at over 200 GB/s, for a 33% increase over the 5870. This is within the realm of reason, however id believe maybe 25% more easily. If its true though, very promising for AMD. For those who failed in math, 4870 to 5870 was 30% increase. Might be a fake, but who knows.

I read somewhere that some alleged benchmarks of ATI's Radeon HD 6870 show that is it actually faster than the HD 5970!
I find this hard to believe. Mainly because as far as to my knowledge, no testable Northern Island prototype exists yet. Whatever HD 6870 benchmark, assuming it's not fake, was probably the 40nm "Southern Island".
Maybe Two HD 6970's in CrossfireX can run Crysis on 2560x1600 with 8x AA and all the other graphics settings cranked as high as they can go, and we'll have 75+ FPS.

If those leaked benchmarks are right, the 6000 series will rock. Once again, Nvidia is in serious trouble. I just bought a 5850 three months ago, so I will probably pass on the 6000 cards. The 5850 should be good for another year or two.How do you work that then ? Do you know what the high end Nvidia cards will be ?
You need to remember that the Bandwidth doesn't really mean anything. The 4770 has 51.2 GB/sec and the 5670 has 64 GB/sec on the spec sheets but the 4770 is easily the faster card.
Even if those screen shots are legit then Nvidia are still ok the next top end card is rumoured to be a dual card and they can easily get a card with the same Gbs/sec without any power worries.

Just a joke man
although some may argue that metro looks better than Crysis as its a matter of opinion. I think they both look great in there own way, and I would also say they are both badly coded.
Personally I think BFBC2 on Max looks very similar to Crysis on Max, though the frame rates are completely different.

A code which cannot efficiently use hardware resources are tagged as unoptimised code.Just like care engine some will give u 15km/L while other will give u 10km/L. said:
