XFX HD6850 Dual Fan CFx review – ultimate gaming for £300 ?

To test power consumption today we are using a Keithley Integra unit and we measure power consumption from the VGA card inputs, not the system wide drain. The best way to get maximum load results is by using Furmark, and even though it is not indicative of a real world situation it shows the limits the card can theoretically demand. The ‘gaming’ results are measured when playing Crysis Warhead and is a more valuable result to take from this.

Power consumption of the XFX HD6850 is slightly lower than the AMD reference design. These cards, like many AMD products recently are extremely efficient.
