i have a q6600 with 8 gb ram and a xfx radeon 6870 instead of a msi one. I run my computer on a 575 watt psu, so far my psu is doing fine. In windows experience index it gets 7.8 in aero and gaming graphics. I can play games like just cause 2 and crysis 2 on the highest settings at 720p res with 8x aa at very playable frame rates. no need to upgrade yet for me. Thumbs if this helped you out.
@mrlouist457 also I forgot to mention but I don't have a very high screen and I don't intend to buy one too..my current screen is 1368*768 and it's fine for me so m guessing it should be enough?
@mrlouist457 dude people run good gfx card on a dual core CPU I dont see why a quad core won't be able to run this GPU decently as for ram my mobo only supports ddr2 so m adding extra 4gig to 2gb total 6gigs..the mobo is a bit old I admit
hey a small question... i have a ASUS p5kpl-vm mobo and it supports pcie 2.0...will i be able to install this card on my mobo..also will only ASUS gfx card work or i can install Sapphire or xfx cards too? sorry if its a noob question...1st time
I had a 5770 on a 2.66 duo core, 4gb ram, win7 ultimate 32bit. Tried playing arkham city w/ direct x11 enable on 1440 X 900. Wasn't happening tossed out the 5770 replaced it w/ this disgustingly awesome card and able to play arkham city w/ direct x 11 on 1440X 900 avg 60fps. This card has made giggle like a school girl. I can only imagine the fps when I replace my rig. Using mod drivers cause we all know AMD has the driver programing ability of that of a retarded mule that was sexually abused.
@nuggz503 Your processor is the problem there, not the HD5770. I have a phenom II 965 BE 3.4ghz and it still bottlenecks an HD5770. It runs dirt 3 @1920x1080 30-60 fps, mostly between 40-50 by itself. It can can take The Witcher 2 on High and Skyrim on ULTRA. Upgrading is a waste of money. I'd rather just buy a whole new PC.
@Cpillin425 oh yea im totally aware of the bottle necking issue. Im probably gonna start building a new rig pretty soon. When ever my coz brings a chip from his work. He works at intel,hehe and they toss chips, that are in perfect working condition, away like used coffee grinders. I actually went w/ this card at first but it was extremely loud and got very warm. I exchanged it for the msi twin frozr ii 6870. dead silent and has yet to go over 75F w/ high clock settings.
@nuggz503 IF I ever get a new card it's going to be an HD6850, I still have the HD5770 that came with my system by default. Also I have seen an HD6850 would only give me about 10~ or so frames more than I already have.
HD 6870 256 bit or EVGA GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5?
I currently have a HIS 5770 1gb GDDR5 and looking to upgrade. I've only owned ATI cards in the past and getting kinda tired of dealing with there driver issues. Current specs are duocore 2.66ghz 4gb ram win 7 ultimate 32bit. running dual desktops. Im sure there will be bottlenecking with either cards but im probably going to upgrade the entire rig pretty soon.
is it really 3D stereoscopic or its just another lie from ATI, i bougth 2 HD radeon 5770 and tried to download the lates version of that card. but i still cannot play 3D stereoscopic games, jumm i really wanna switch to Nvidia but i know ATI has a lot of good cards but, no of them with 3D. i really hope the think about upgrading on this because everyone know 3D is the future on gaming,movies and Television.
@winebar91 this card requires both 6 pin plugs to be plugged in and be powered or it will not run. Plus it needs a good quality power supply with with watts to spare to run stable. I'd say 650 watts minimum.
My sys has a Thermal Take 775 Tough Power PS it's a perfect match. My XFX HD 6870 video card is huge, it's 11" Long Total, 5" Tall (that's including the male PCI connector) and 1 & 3/4" Wide. Cheers...
Can anyone answer? Which VGA/GPU is stronger, the HD6870 or the GTX560 (non-Ti)? (PhysX is useless for me, i just need a GPU that runs BF3 on High (and a bit of ultra) settings at 1080p...)
I might give it a pop then. I've managed to get the PDC E6700 3.2 up to 3.5GHz on stock cooling so I'll be giving it a bash. Thanks for the reassurance.
@RangerParus Well watch out cuz mine is at 70c.. and im using my 200 dollars water cooling system :/ so ill recommend a core 2 quad they arent that expensive :D
@Alexanderdanice It runs at about 55-62 degrees C which is bearable. I'm on a midway upgrade path at the minute and the total investment has been in everything but the motherboard and cpu. The cpu I salvaged out a friend's pc thinking it would work with my 775 board but it didn't. My pc being from the dark ages I decided to get some decent RAM, a decent case, HD and PSU. The plan is to upgrade at the end of summer and get a new motherboard and cpu combo for around the £400 mark.
@Alexanderdanice ....Which is why I was looking at this card. If it goes on my set up on middle settings then I'm happy since it's saving investment again later on, and when I do then I'll look into running two together.
@3Target33 As helpful as that comment is I'm fully aware that I won't get the best out the card, and yes I'm aware that with any game I play the CPU is going to be the limiting factor but for the sake of the £30 between a "suitable pairing" and this I'd rather buy the card for the next upgrade now.
There's so much snobbery about PC components it's unbelievable. You can have a cpu, gpu and mobo that's capable of anything under £450 so let's not pretend it's expensive.
@RangerParus motherboards don't really help the performance, it just depends if the PCI slot is 16x a cheapy $100 motherboard will do, but it will lack features like more PCIe slots and less RAM slots, i personally love big motherboards. sooo...
@3Target33 Yeah, I know. I like features, though but RAM is getting so cheap these days that you can be torn between buying two 4Gb sticks and leaving the other two empty and being happy with it or wanting to fill them with the max you can afford.
Game debate gives my processor a 7 rating with the overclock that it's running since it's on 3.86GHz so the bottleneck is not really a massive issue just now.
@RangerParus oh, ok.so do you think IF i got an old CPU and overclocked to 3.5GHz and watercooled it, would it preform as good as a standard non-overclocked CPU at 3.5Ghz?
@3Target33 Well that's an obvious no but it does close the gap.
Just to be clear here I'm not some kind of newbie, I've been building PC's for years. This is a dramatic processor/motherboard combo is a downgrade from what I had a year ago but needs must and I'm living with it. You build a pc around it's main application and mine isn't games, even if it is in a HAF 922. The Dual Core E6700 didn't cost me anything, the motherboard was £60 so I'm making the situation work. Sorry if that isn't L33t.
Right, I'm just going to have to go round in circles, aren't I? I had an i7-950 based system but for reasons I won't go into I don't now. An E6700 Wolfdale fell into my lap and the choice of having sod all or using it for the sake of £40 I used it. I do intend to get a new base but not just yet so there's no point in buying a lower end GPU and then buying this in nine months. If my current system plus this does what I need it to until then I'm happy.
@scorpgul I got a 6850 and it's fine. Just stick to the CPU minimum requirements and it holds it's share. As I've said to many, many other people who've brought this up again and again and again in the last few months, I've a full system overhaul due in June so that's another 6850s, a new Mobo and likely at the minute an FX8150. the choice of buying a £80 graphics card last november instead of the 6850 and then having to buy two 6850's six months later is a no brainer if it works.
Keep in mind if you're running dual monitors like me and you happen to use 2 VGA monitors for that it won't work on this card. I have the XFX version of it. The top port is a regular DVI port that can handle VGA montiors and the bottom is a special DVI port. DVI-D i think, it can only take signals from a DVI montior not a VGA monitor with a VGA to DVI adapter.
@MW2Addiction I have an overclocked version of this card and I have a x4 955 try to aim higher for a cpu its worth it the 955 is good but overclocking is a made harder seen as though the cpu tops out around 65c max load and yes it will be fine if you run eyefinity you might struggle
@MW2Addiction Thats ok you're not alone any way eyefinity is running 2 - 6 displays as one its not the same as having a big tv. It allows you to have a bigger view so like mw2 you see a gun in the middle and more things to left and right that you wont see if you have one monitor you be better off looking it up and bare in mind if you do this you need more graphics power which means less chance of running 1080
@MW2Addiction I got the overclocked version of this card and I have a x4 955 BE and i have to say it is amazing runs Dirt 3 maxed 120fps Assassins creed brotherhood maxed 70 fps I havent tried much games on it yet
@gabrocki check out the benchmarks on the website . (i guess its a lil hard to navigate it through) but it seems the 560 ti is slightly faster than the 6870.
HELP i have the Gigabyte hd 6870 but i cant get mor than P16400 points on Vantage , i have the phenom ii 1075 and 4 gb of ram what can be the problem of this slow score and playing gta4 it lags plz help , can it be the power suplay beacose i have a 550W thermaltek HELP and on gpu-z the max core clocke is 900 but memory is max 1050 ???? whay
@wstk123 i can tell, it does have the latest driver steell lags ,in the box of the psu it seas 480W and in max pwer it is 550W , when i play gta it starts to lage at some point but when i minimised the game and maximasef id gose ok for a few minutes than it starts laging agen
@Trollersarefaggggits wrong. you dont pronouns "RADEON" like *RAYDON..the "E" in Radeon is there for a reason..so that you wont pronouns it RAYDON but RAYDEEON
too much effort going into multi display technology. Projectors are so awesome these days, just need to run one display to 110 inch screen at max resolution.
@yiyas444 their look. PLUS if you buy the DirectCu version of the ASUS 6870 its easier to overclock as i heard. but apart from that, absolutely nothing. their price, maybe.
@ZaPeeXP I'd recommend an 850W PSU. 1TB is a bit overkill, but if you've go the dough, go for it. Make sure you've got at least a Quad-Core, and I personally would choose a 6870 or 6950, so, you're pretty good.
@ZaPeeXP instead of getting the HD 6970, get the HD 6950, they are actually the SAME card, and just following a tutorial of youtube you can literally transform it into a HD 6970 (it is prooved that becomes a 6970 because you can crossfire it with an original 6970) so buying the 6950 you save some punds, about the HDD, the case and the RAM they are nice, and about the motherboard while you can put all those things you want is nice, and the CPU tell me if is a X2, X4 or X6
@2564651jcr They are both great cards bro, the GTX 560Ti will perform better as it being abit more expensive, the GTX 560Ti has near HD 6950 performance levels, but can't go wrong with either...
@2564651jcr Lol, same bro, Im actually going to buy 1 for now, and another one for some crossfire, can't go wrong with dat lol...oh and a HD 6970 will easily max out crysis 2...enjoy!
@Lionheart1188 thanks alot looks like i have 3 weeks left of saving ahead of me although i could get a 900mhz 6870 in 2 weeks.. u reckon i could max crysis with that??? once again thanks for all your help
@2564651jcr All gd bro, glad to help. A HD 6870 will max out crysis and crysis 2 but at low resolutions like 1680x1050 and lower, you should have decent framerates at those resolutions but any higher you will notice more big dips in fps, if your playing at 1920x1080 I would recommend the HD 6950 bro, hope dat helps...
@Lionheart1188 yeh turns out the released a 560ti SOC 1000mhz for the same price as a 6950 and its alot more powerful im defo gonna get it haha thanks for all ur help
@DTF161 It might be abit overkill yes, but too be honest bro, I would still go with the card even at that resolution, and down the line you could pick up a bigger monitor. A card like that at hat resolution you should be able to play every game out there on PC max settings, and nice overclock on ur CPU too.
@Lionheart1188 thanks but im using a 20 inch full hdtv that can be used as a pc screen since i have hdmi slot, the native resolution for pc is 1440x900 but for consoles 1920x1080
i will be hooking 2 of these up to a amd fx 8120 i am so excited

Keep in mind if you're running dual monitors like me and you happen to use 2 VGA monitors for that it won't work on this card. I have the XFX version of it. The top port is a regular DVI port that can handle VGA montiors and the bottom is a special DVI port. DVI-D i think, it can only take signals from a DVI montior not a VGA monitor with a VGA to DVI adapter.

Guys what if I get a AMD Phenom II X4 955 CPU with this card. Would that be enough to run Battlefield 3 at medium to high settings?
MW2Addiction 7 months ago
@MW2Addiction I have an overclocked version of this card and I have a x4 955 try to aim higher for a cpu its worth it the 955 is good but overclocking is a made harder seen as though the cpu tops out around 65c max load and yes it will be fine if you run eyefinity you might struggle
JJROADSTA 7 months ago
@JJROADSTA Im kinda noobish at this but whats Eyefinity?
MW2Addiction 7 months ago
@MW2Addiction Thats ok you're not alone any way eyefinity is running 2 - 6 displays as one its not the same as having a big tv. It allows you to have a bigger view so like mw2 you see a gun in the middle and more things to left and right that you wont see if you have one monitor you be better off looking it up and bare in mind if you do this you need more graphics power which means less chance of running 1080

@ZaPeeXP I'd recommend an 850W PSU. 1TB is a bit overkill, but if you've go the dough, go for it. Make sure you've got at least a Quad-Core, and I personally would choose a 6870 or 6950, so, you're pretty good.
KirbKirb20 10 months ago
@ZaPeeXP i5 2500K FTW. And Maybe A Gtx560ti? It's alot faster. And I'm Not A INTEL FAN BOY. I'm Currently Running a AMD X4 925 @ 3.6 GHZ.
TommyMc36 11 months ago
@ZaPeeXP instead of getting the HD 6970, get the HD 6950, they are actually the SAME card, and just following a tutorial of youtube you can literally transform it into a HD 6970 (it is prooved that becomes a 6970 because you can crossfire it with an original 6970) so buying the 6950 you save some punds, about the HDD, the case and the RAM they are nice, and about the motherboard while you can put all those things you want is nice, and the CPU tell me if is a X2, X4 or X6

2564651jcr 11 months ago
@2564651jcr They are both great cards bro, the GTX 560Ti will perform better as it being abit more expensive, the GTX 560Ti has near HD 6950 performance levels, but can't go wrong with either...

@2564651jcr Lol, same bro, Im actually going to buy 1 for now, and another one for some crossfire, can't go wrong with dat lol...oh and a HD 6970 will easily max out crysis 2...enjoy!
Lionheart1188 11 months ago
@Lionheart1188 or maybe the 6950 its hard theres so many and the 6970 is a bit expensive (my income is a paper round lol)
2564651jcr 11 months ago
@2564651jcr Lmao ah ok, I used to have dat type of job/income, can't go wrong with a HD 6950 bro...
Lionheart1188 11 months ago
@Lionheart1188 thanks alot looks like i have 3 weeks left of saving ahead of me although i could get a 900mhz 6870 in 2 weeks.. u reckon i could max crysis with that??? once again thanks for all your help
2564651jcr 11 months ago
@2564651jcr All gd bro, glad to help. A HD 6870 will max out crysis and crysis 2 but at low resolutions like 1680x1050 and lower, you should have decent framerates at those resolutions but any higher you will notice more big dips in fps, if your playing at 1920x1080 I would recommend the HD 6950 bro, hope dat helps...
Lionheart1188 11 months ago
@Lionheart1188 yeh turns out the released a 560ti SOC 1000mhz for the same price as a 6950 and its alot more powerful im defo gonna get it haha thanks for all ur help

@Lionheart1188 since my native resolution is 1440x900 was ordering a 6870 overkill, to go along with my core 2 quad q8400 oc @ 3.55ghz{turbo}
DTF161 11 months ago
@DTF161 It might be abit overkill yes, but too be honest bro, I would still go with the card even at that resolution, and down the line you could pick up a bigger monitor. A card like that at hat resolution you should be able to play every game out there on PC max settings, and nice overclock on ur CPU too.
Lionheart1188 11 months ago
@Lionheart1188 thanks but im using a 20 inch full hdtv that can be used as a pc screen since i have hdmi slot, the native resolution for pc is 1440x900 but for consoles 1920x1080
