Chinese graphics card maker ColorFire developed a custom Radeon HD 6850 graphics card with the Zalman VF-3000, a cooler with a large aluminium fin array and two 90mm fans. It's unknown if the card will be sold outside China.

The PCB sets the red color-scheme, and the cooler keeps up with it, using a hot rod looking shroud. The card uses a 7+1 phase VRM that draws power from two 6-pin power connectors, facilitating high clock speeds. The PCB also holds two CFBI fingers, indicating the card to support 3-way and 4-way CrossFireX. Low-latency (0.5 ns) GDDR5 memory chips by Hynix are used.
