The Powercolor HD6850 Single Slot Edition scores almost the same as the previous generation reference clocked HD5850 with 3,668 points. It is marginally faster than the GTX460 but noticeably slower than the overclocked MSI N560GTX TFII.
Looks great. I like the fact many media system will suit this, and its more powerful than the usual single slot option
Nice looking card, very slim 😉
The noise figures are helpful, but I want to get two for a new crossfire based media center in a HTPC lian li chassis. will the noise be offputting? its hard to know.
Its a neat idea for a fairly high powered card, but in reality most people shouldnt touch it. they are better off with a dual slot design as they always run cooler and produce less noise. shame they didnt opt for a bigger fan which would spin slower.
Not for me, 6950 is in my plans for the future.
I opted for a 5670 passive card for my media system, it was enough for what I needed. this is a good option, but most people will want a silent or very quiet card for media. this isn’t it. good review
