4 Replies
Basically is the 6870 worth the extra 20 dollars or so, or should I buy the cheaper 6850? The card will be used for mostly hardcore gaming. Any opinions? Maybe a different card rather than the ones…Continue

Do the research and the math, but if you want someone's opinion the 6870 and 6850 differences are not substantcial. It all comes down to the performance options/settings you seak, when picking a graphics card.for 20$ more your paying for a faster clock rate, as a 6850 can see the same performance as a 6870 simply by overclocking it. =/
