AMD Radeon HD 6800 Presentation Leaked

So they fixed the super sampling issue by using a different anti aliasing filter? Let's see how this works.

The power and efficiency are pretty much what I expected, but the ninth and twelveth thumbnails are full of shit. They manipulate the numbers to make it look like the 6870 and 6850 are a lot faster than the 460 when actually it's only by a small margin in some cases if you look closely.

Still, the 6870 seems to be on the same spot power wise as the 470, so that is a good thing if has a better price. If it costs at least $20 I might buy one to replace my current card.

I really dont care a shit about 6850/70, the only ATI card at the moment that intrests me are the HD6950/6970 cards. I alreay own a GTX460 for my HTPC, I dont need more mainstream cards, but the 6900 series are looking really good for my next tower desktop build.

:P 6970 is 300w tdp.

might be best to see what the GTX 580 can do.

You may have to wait another 6 months, they just finished to release their whole lineup... so doubt we will see new gpus from nvidia in the near 6-8 months.

nvidia's high end refresh occurs 6months past the flagship release not 6 months past the entire lineup release.

the 580 will be here by january.

Following the fermi screw up time delay, then it will be here by april.

going by reputable chinese sources, the card should be well into development.

infact, there is news of a GTX 580 paper launch on the horizon to ruin AMD's release news.

No. Morphological AA is not a form of SSAA. It is something totally different and uses some patterns for edge recognition. It is faster than MSAA and gives equal level of visual quality.
