Here it is, the AMD Radeon HD 6870, all dressed up to go to work. There has been quite some speculation surrounding the naming scheme AMD is going to adopt with the HD 6000 series, but fresh information suggestively lays some of that to rest. Firstly, Radeon HD 6800 series is built around the “Barts” GPU, not “Cayman”. Barts is a new performance GPU, though isn’t the highest-end single GPU from AMD (which is reserved for Cayman). Barts “XT” is Radeon HD 6870, and Barts “Pro” is HD 6850. Pictured below is the HD 6870. At a purely subjective glance, the HD 6870 reference design card seems to be as long as the HD 5850 reference.
