We’ve looked at the HD 6850 in Crossfire and that’s all great, but now it’s time to get down to business and while the HD 6870 isn’t going to be the top single GPU card from AMD (that’s reserved for the HD 6970), the aggressive pricing structure of the model means that going CF could be a very good option.

We haven’t actually had a look at a retail version of the HD 6870 yet, but that’s about to change with the help of the HIS HD 6870. Since currently the models carry with them reference clock speeds, we figured that instead of just running it by itself which would ultimately result in the same performance as the reference HD 6870, we would instead pair it up with the reference card.
