Video decode gets a nice boost in the form of a new revision of Unified Video Decode (UVD) 3. We do not have any stereoscopic 3d hardware to test so no investigation of this new feature has yet been made.
#AMD RADEON HD 6800 SPECS BENCH SERIES#
3d game support has been enabled for 5000 series cards also, but 3d Blu-ray support is exclusive to the 6800 series at this point in time. This applies to both 3d games and 3d Blu-ray movies. Also new for the 6800 series is stereoscopic 3d support dubbed “HD3D”. This new method of AA is designed to be compatible with all DirectX applications, which allows gamers to enable AA in all their games. Filtering quality is also improved, and a new post-process Anti-Aliasing (AA) mode is introduced dubbed Morphological AA (MLAA). Among those new tricks are improved tessellation performance, thanks to a new tessellation unit dubbed “Generation 7”. This Barts core belongs to the Northern Island family of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs).
Powering the 6800 series is the new Barts core, an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC) descended from the Evergreen family of processors which powered the entire Radeon HD 5000 line, but with some new tricks. This marks a change in both nomenclature and product positioning for AMD, which will be explained later in this article.
The replacements for these cards will come at a later date and shall be reviewed at that time. However, despite the names, and as their prices imply, these cards are not intended to replace the Radeon HD 58. Retail prices for these cards are $239 and $179, respectively. This new line of graphics cards from AMD consists of the Radeon HD 6870, and 6850. 1 year and 1 month after the launch of the Radeon HD 5800 series, the Radeon HD 6800 series is unleashed upon the world.
