I'm very happy to present to you for the first time the Radeon HD 6870. This graphics card has beefed up tessellation performance, support for 3D Blu-Ray, and a price tag to make you go "REALLY??"

I'd be pissing into the wind with hooking this into a pentium dual core 3.2Ghz system, wouldn't I? :(

@stroberocker How is the first one? I'm gonna buy one with my new PC next week. What can it run without any problems?

[mistamikey123455]

@RangerParus sadly, yes

[stroberocker]

oh yeh totally have it!!!!! getting my 2nd one of these in 2 days :D

@scorpgul So currently at 3.84GHz dual core, 8Gb RAM and a HD 6850, Corsair GS800 PSU.

[RangerParus]

@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.

So "lol".

[scorpgul]

@RangerParus at least a quad core or dont bother lol

[scorpgul]

@VamosMsAris nah bro I just bought one of these too I am going for at least a 600w Corsair

[VamosMsAris]

Thanks in advance...
