TC Mag found a photo of a Radeon HD 6850 graphics card stripped naked. Just two more days to go for the official launch of the Radeon HD 6800 series.
Rockin' a black PCB just like its bigger brother, the HD 6850 has a 4-phase design, eight GDDR5 memory chips set to 4000 MHz, one Barts GPU clocked at 775 MHz, a 256-bit memory interface, one 6-pin PCIe power connector, CrossFire support, and five outputs - two DVI, one HDMI and two mini DisplayPorts. This card should take on the GeForce GTX 460 768MB in the sub-$200 zone.
