6800 series slides

So that's their excuse for having poor tessellation, looks like it's carried on through to the 6*** series. Where there is a decent level of tessellation it performs at previous generation level, hardly any tessellation it performs better than previous gen, that's progress for you....:D

Does the new AA not look way to blurry...

Lets wait and see Heaven.

No, looks ok to me, but admittedly not a good example ;)

Looks like it tessellates better than the GTX460, guess that's as good as it NEEDS to be.

At pixel level it does, but probably not when zoomed out.
 
How much is the 6850 going to cost? why are they putting up against the 768mb GTX460. If that is the price range it is going to be in (£120)it is really impressive.

Edit: Speed read it at work, its not a 6870 its the 6850!

Why do they keep persisting with crappy AA implementations :( morphological looks like a slight spin on jitter sampling.
 
From that graph looks like the 6870 is gonna be in 470 territory but unless its priced competitively against it and overclocks well you'd be silly to buy one over a 470.
 
Still, it looks very interesting so can't wait until Friday, dying to see the 69** specs and performance. Good to see AMD continue to add new features.

I noticed there are no heaven benchmarks in their charts, which is not a good sign tessellation has improved by much IMO.

6870 is going to be mixing it up with 470.
6850 is going to be mixing it up with 460 1GB

the new changes look awesome.

There is going to be a lot of dissapointed 480gtx users when 69## comes out in nov.
All they are going to have will be Heaven benchmark, bacon and egg cooking and high electricity bills...

4months of fastest gpu very short lived

Welcome to the forums, dupe account or previously banned?



If the 6970 makes my 480 look like crap, AMD it is for me again.

neither. Thank you very much. I am happy to be here.
what job do you do anyway raven. Its not easy to jump from one GPU to another with 350£ a pop.
