We've been informed that some early engineering samples with more stream processors count have been shipped, but we have confirmed that our today's test sample is the real Barts PRO deal - 960 stream processors right on the spot.īarts uses AMD's so called "Arch 5D" design with five stream processors w, x, y, z and t units. This one ended up clocked at 775MHz for the GPU and 4000MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. The Barts pro is quite similar except, of course, for the fact that it has two SIMDs less, or simply, it has 48 Texture Units (TMUs) and 960 Stream processors. The reference Barts XT GPU ended up clocked at 900MHz for the GPU and 4200MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory paired up with a 256-bit memory interface. The fully enabled Barts, or the Barts XT, has 2TFLOPS of computational power.

As noted it has a 256-bit GDDR5 memory interface and comes with 32 Raster Operation Processors (ROPs). The Barts XT, known as the HD 6870 card, has 14 SIMDs, with 80 Stream Processor per SIMD (total of 1120 Stream Processors) and 56 texture units (TMUs). You can see GPU pictures of XFX HD 6870 and XFX HD 6850 cards, as well as some info AMD presented. The GPUs in question are all built in 40nm. Cypress has 2.15 billion transistors while our today’s GPUs come with 1.8 billion.

Barts measures 255mm2, which is 31% smaller compared to HD 5870 and HD 5850’s Cypress (334mm2). HD 6890 uses Barts XT HD 6850 uses Barts Pro core. The fastest single-GPU card from Northern Islands family will be Radeon HD 6970 and it will be based on Cayman core, whereas dual-GPU Radeon HD 6990 will have Antilles core.

Considering the price and the promised performance, HD 6850 and HD 6870 sound like a pretty nice deal for those on the prowl for a decent gaming card.Īll this means that mid range and high end graphics segments will definitely get a bit crowded – AMD will replace the HD 5800 with HD 6800 and HD 69000, so there’ll be plenty of flavors between the fastest dual-chip card and HD 5700 series.ĪMD decided that the HD 5700 series will, for now, coexist with the HD 6000 series, meaning Barts, Cayman and Antilles based cards. Recommended pricing for the HD 6870 stands at $239 in the US and €199 including VAT. Performance wise, Radeon HD 6870 is somewhere between Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon HD 5850, whereas Radeon HD 6850 is slower than Radeon HD 5850.īarts cards are mid-range cards that cover the $150-250 segment. We must admit AMD picked a somewhat confusing naming scheme namely, you’d think that Radeon HD 6870 is faster than Radeon HD 5870, which unfortunately isn’t the case. The core is still in 40nm but the fine-tuned architecture should provide more performance per Watt and mm2 compared to the previous, Evergreen generation. The two cards on our test today are based on Barts core, a direct result of the HD 5800 series optimization. The graphics cards we’re talking about are AMD’s second gen DirectX 11 architecture codenamed Northern Islands. Cherry on top is of course the dual-GPU Radeon HD 6990. Next in line is Radeon HD 6970, the fastest single-GPU card in this generation followed by the HD 6950. AppAccelerationĪPIs supported by Radeon HD 6850, sometimes including their particular versions.AMD’s current plan is to launch 5 new graphics cards by the end of the year and it will start with today’s Radeon HD 6850 and Radeon HD 6870. You'll probably need this information if you need some particular technology for your purposes.
