SAPPHIRE Announces Radeon HD 6850 Vapor-X Edition Video Card
SAPPHIRE Technology today announced a new high performance graphics card – the HD 6850 Vapor-X Edition with the SAPPHIRE exclusive Vapor-X GPU cooler. The SAPPHIRE HD 6850 Vapor-X Edition has the same internal architecture as the standard model, with 960 stream processors and 48 texture processing units, but clock speeds are increased to 800MHz for the core and 1100Mhz (4.4 Gb/sec effective) for the memory giving users a considerable boost in performance. The standard SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6850 runs at 775MHz on the core and 1000Mhz on the memory.
The SAPPHIRE exclusive Vapor-X cooler ensures that the card runs quietly and efficiently. Together with other special hardware features including on-board 10-phase power control and SAPPHIREs highly efficient, cool running second generation Black Diamond chokes this ensures there is a good margin for performance tuning (overclocking) by enthusiast users. SAPPHIREs overclocking tool for these models – TriXX – is available for free.
