XFX > AMD > AMD Radeon HD 6870

AMD Radeon™ HD 6870. XFX keeps it real..

With the 6000 series, XFX is literally putting you in the game. The AMD Radeon HD 6870 is 3-D ready and it�s the first, and one of the first HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2 solutions for Stereoscopic 3-D on the market.

The AMD Radeon HD 6870 ushers in a new era of gaming that takes users to an entirely new level. The AMD 3-D experience is truly immersive and seamless. AMD has also teamed up with other Open 3-D ecosystem partners to provide consumers with more choice, more innovation and lower cost.

Along with the new series XFX debuts the 3E Trilogy, incorporating AMD Eye-Definition (utilizing AMD�s HD3D technology & DirectX 11 for explosive performance and stunning effects), AMD Eyefinity (which supports multi-display gaming) and AMD Eyespeed (improves video image quality and application performance for amazing visuals) technologies.

GPU Clock MHz The main attributes of the GPU are the core clock rate, which typically ranges from 250 MHz to 1200 MHz in modern cards.	900 MHz
Stream Processors Through the use of stream processing, computer benefit from the ability to transparently access a large number of 'cores' (or, computational units) on a chip without having to separately manage each and every one of them along with their associated busses, memories, I/O, etc.	1120
Bus Type N/A	PCI-E 2.1
Performance N/A	Standard
Memory Interface Bus (bit) The bit data rate between memory and the GPU.	256
Memory Type VRAM was typically based on DDR technology. During and after that year, manufacturers moved towards the vastly superior DDR2, GDDR3 and GDDR4.	DDR5
Memory Size (MB) the video card will have its own video memory which is called Video RAM or VRAM. The VRAM capacity of most modern video cards range from 128 MB to 2.0 GB.	1024 MB
Memory Clock (MHz) The memory clock rate in modern cards are generally between 400 MHz and 2.4 GHz.	4200 MHz
Microsoft� DirectX� Support The standard for today's PCs and next-generation consoles enables stunning and complex effects for cinematic realism. XFX graphics cards offer the most complete implementation of the Shader Model feature set-including vertex texture fetch (VTF)-to ensure top-notch compatibility and performance for all DirectX applications.	11
Open GL Optimization and Support Ensures top-notch compatibility and performance for OpenGL applications.	3.2
Cooling Fansink Sometimes known as an active cooling device, a small electrical fan which drives air across a heat sink and as such will generate a small amount of noise. It is more effective than a heat sink alone at cooling.	v
ROHS The RoHS Directive stands for "the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and electronic equipment". This Directive bans the placing on the EU market of new electrical and electronic equipment containing more than agreed levels of lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) and polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) flame retardants.	v
Profile Some graphics cards have the capability to swap out the current bracket to make it compatible with low-profile computer systems that require a lower bracket card.	Double
Dimensions (Imperial) N/A	10.3 x 4.4 x 1.5
Max Resolution Analog Maximum Screen Resolution indicates the maxiumum possible sharpness and clarity of an image that a monitor can display, measured in number of dots (pixels).	2048 x 1536
Max Resolution Digital Maximum Screen Resolution indicates the maxiumum possible sharpness and clarity of an image that a monitor can display, measured in number of dots (pixels).	2560 x 1600
ATI Radeon CrossFireX™ Technology ATI CrossFireX™Technology with up to quad GPU support offers superior scalability so your system is ready to level up when you are.	v
ATI Radeon PowerPlay™ Advanced power management technology for optimal performance and power savings. Performance-on-Demand allows you to constantly monitor GPU activity and dynamically adjust clocks and voltage based on user scenarios.	v
ATI Eyefinity Technology Enjoy the ultimate immersive gaming experience with innovative "wrap around" multi-display capabilities. Run up to 3 display from a single graphics card and expand your gaming field of view across all displays.	v
DisplayPort DisplayPort is designed to be the future-ready, scalable solution for high performance digital display connectivity. It enables the highest resolutions, the fastest refresh rates and deepest color depths over standard cables.	2
