Powercolor have really been delivering the goods in 2010 and their latest model might not sound too exciting until we point out that it is a passively cooled HD6850!

Kitguru loved the XFX HD5670 and Sapphire HD5670 passively cooled solutions as they were ideal for media centers and people who wanted to build a crossfire rig with minimal noise. The fact that Powercolor have managed to deliver a HD6850 without an active cooling system is extremely impressive. We have no further information on clock speeds but we would assume it is pretty close to the reference figures. We can see it takes one 6 pin power connector and is Crossfire capable. Two of these in CFx without a single dBa of noise sounds like a mighty appealing configuration to us.

Kitguru says: We want !

The HD6850 has proved popular with AMD's partners, with many releasing custom cooled solutions with overclocked settings, out of the box. Powercolor are the latest to offer an overclocked card with a custom designed cooler which looks to be tickling the tastebuds of the discerning enthusiast user.

The Powercolor PCS+ HD6850 is clocked at 820mhz core and 1100mhz memory which should give it a decent speed bump over the reference version. The cooler is based around a 90mm fan with 3 copper heat pipes to remove heat efficiently from the core. If the overclocking is anything like the XFX Black Edition we recently reviewed then it should get close to 1ghz on the core.

They are also bundling Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 which while rather old now, is still a kick ass game.

Last friday AMD released the HD6870 and HD6850 series to a warm reception. Many journalists (including myself) admired the competitive price points with class leading performance … finally AMD had the performance edge to compete directly with the GTX 460's.

Today we have one of the first pre-overclocked HD6850's – the XFX HD6850 Black Edition. So new in fact that it has been hand selected from the production process and shipped to us in the reference HD6850 box. Being Guru's of Kit however, we did manage to get a picture of the final retail box, not even off the production line.

As many of you will already know, XFX have three series of cards within a range. The standard version, the XXX editions with moderate overclocks and the Black Editions with the highest overclocks. The model we are looking at today is the fastest card in the HD6850 range and has been certified and warranted to run long term at 820mhz core and 1100mhz (4400mhz effective) via the GDDR5 memory.

Product code : HD-685X-ZNBC
Core clock : 820MHz
Memory clock : 4.4GHz
Stream Processors : 960
Output config : DP+HDMI+DUAL DVI(1x DVI-I, 1x DVI-D)
External power : 1x 6pins
Cross fire connection : 1x
