AMD Barts-based graphics card shown off

After being first with photos of the Cayman XT and Caicos graphics cards, ChipHell scores another slam dunk by uploading the first pictures of the 40nm Barts GPU. Depending on which rumor mill you believe, this GPU will be released as either the Radeon HD 6700 or Radeon HD 6800 series.

Whether it will end up being known as Radeon HD 6700 or HD 6800, it remains to be seen but what's certain is that the Barts card has a dual-slot cooler, two 6-pin PCIe power connectors, one CorssFireX connector, and two DVI, one HDMI and two DisplayPort outputs. A 256-bit memory interface is apparently also present, as are 1024MB of GDDR5 memory. No word on clocks though.
