Very impressive showing for the new Radeon cards. Especially if those power numbers turn out to be true.
They put the HD6870 even with the GTX460 (therefore 140w) or 55w less than the HD5850 (therefore 65w), or 20w more than the GTS450 (therefore 104w) or 60w less than the 5870 (so 110w), or 40w more than the 5770 (115w).
So it could be anything between 65w and 140w power, with the most likely range being 105~115w.
look at a card like the gtx460 and why on earth would would moving a slider and picking up an additional 20-25% with no voltage change present a challenge? the 6870 only being able to oc by 6% is a freaking joke for enthusiasts. I can just save 60-70 bucks and get a 6850 or gtx460, oc them and get basically the same performance.I don't overclock, so I don't really care.

well if it cant oc but 6% it certainly wont be a factor. lol. I look at personal and tech site reviews and if every reviewer can get 20-25% or more out of a card and it scales well then that most certainly adds value in my mind. same goes for cpus too.It's not that overclocking is too hard. I have gotten so many duds over the years that overclocking potential doesn't factor in for me when I buy a graphics card.

Christ.Geez, look at the 6870 Crossfire scaling in Crysis. It's as fast as my setup at that resolution.
