XFX HD 6850 - 1GB - PCI-E Graphics Card - £87.99p & Free Delivery - Ebuyer

weltysparrowfound 8 months, 3 weeks ago

Novatech's price has just gone up so this is the cheapest I could find. My friend has an XFX 6850 for over a year and he's happy with it (totally anecdotal I know!)

On a side note can anyone explain to me why people on ebay are paying £80+ for a 2nd hand card when these are less than a tenner more?! Are they just stupid?

The blurb:

"With the 6000 series, XFX is literally putting you in the game. The AMD Radeon HD 6850 is 3-D ready and one of the first HDMI 1.4a and DisplayPort 1.2 solutions for Stereoscopic 3-D on the market.

The AMD Radeon HD 6850 ushers in a new era of gaming that takes users to an entirely new level. The AMD 3-D experience is truly immersive and seamless. AMD has also teamed up with other Open 3-D ecosystem partners to provide consumers with more choice, more innovation and lower cost.

bottom line is that this card can handle ANY game on high settings at 1080p with 60fps. it is an awesome card.

No, it cannot.

Serious question now - is there much difference between this and a 6870? They go for about £120plus - worth the extra?

It means at the more reasonable resolution of 1,680 x 1,050 there's barely a game out there you can't top 30fps on the highest graphical settings. Indeed, we almost managed to hit 50fps in DiRT 3 and could even get the beautiful Shogun 2 above 30fps in the full HD res of 1,920 x 1,080. The famously system-taxing tessellating monster, Metro 2033, almost managed to get up to 20fps with all the good stuff maxed out. That may not sound like a lot, but is actually a pretty significant score.
This then is a serious gamer's graphics card for a bargain price. In fact you're not only limited to the moderate 1,680 x 1,050 resolution with this card - it will do pretty well at powering a proper 1080p HD monitor

My monitor is 1920x1200 so maybe i would need something with just a little more ooooomph..?

Depends on whether you can justify it yourself
