published a handful of photos of the upcoming Radeon HD 6850 Cyclone OC Power Edition graphics card from MSI. This card uses MSI's Cyclone cooling solution and is geared for overclocking. Pricing is unknown but the card should arrive pretty soon.
The PCB draws power from just one 6-pin power connector, it uses a 6+1+1 phase VRM that makes use of high-grade components. Display connectivity includes two DVI, and one each of HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2. While MSI did not mention what clock speeds it ships with, it definitely put it through some OC tests. The card was able to achieve 1000/1200 MHz (core/memory) with a core voltage of 1.2V. The card was put through Furmark, where it settled down to 65 degrees Celsius.
