These preliminary scores reveal the Radeon HD 6870 and Radeon HD 6850 may be somewhat slower than the Radeon HD 5870 and Radeon HD 5850, respectively. This is due to the fact that the Radeon HD 6800 series is based on the Barts GPU, the real successor to the Radeon HD 5800 series will be the Cayman-based Radeon HD 6950 and Radeon HD 6970 cards.
