Futuremark released 3DMark Vantage, on April 28, 2008. It is a benchmark based upon DirectX 10, and therefore will only run under Windows Vista (Service Pack 1 is stated as a requirement) and Windows 7. This is the first edition where the feature-restricted, free of charge version could not be used any number of times. 1280×1024 resolution was used with performance settings.
The Black Edition card scores around 1,000 points more than the reference clocked card, but falls around 1,000 points behind the HD5850. It scores around 300 points more than the 1GB GTX460.
Shit on a stick, thats insane clocks man!
Ohhhh lovely. their modded cooler is good. shame its a tiny bit louder, but we can forgive it with those insane clocks.
ill buy a few of these I think for christmas 😉
First HD6850 over 1ghz, very sexy indeed. XFX are really taking it to Sapphire lately.
Heh, this is the start of extreme solutions. I can predict some amazing overclocks before christmas.
Absolutely stunning card, hope the price isnt much higher though.
I am not that interested in the core clock increases set in the bios, the potential overhead is what I love about the black edition boards. they have been doing this for years really and im stunned they got a 6850 black edition out so early. nice scoop KG.
Its AMD lovin on kitguru 🙂
Have to hand it to XFX< they are showing their worth as a partner for AMD. nvidia must be crying into their cornflakes.
cocks.
oh, this will make a nice christmas present, I just need to persuade the missus to fork out for it. fat chance.
Damn it, I wasn’t expecting this so quick. XFX got the edge on Sapphire.
but for how long? 1.1ghz possible before christmas? I think so.
XFX + AMD = Great Combo
XFX – NVIDIA = All 4 AMD
NVIDIA You Where Stupid To Let XFX Go As A Partner
To all the dumbasses saying Nvidia dropped XFX;
Get your bloody facts right – XFX dropped Nvidia when they made the 400-series cards.
