This is an interesting test because of its implications in the world of tessellation. First, the increase in the benchmark score going from the HD 5850 to the HD 6870 is about 35% – a sizable boost and indicates some definite improvement in the tessellation engine in the new Barts GPU. The NVIDIA cards, even with the GF104’s slightly lessened tessellation power compared to the GF100, are able to beat out all the AMD options though indicating a continued advantage in tessellation performance.

Today’s cards are about
Today’s cards are about offering gamers more bang for the money and more performance per watt, and the prices of both 6870 and 6850 well within reach for most.
On top of that, the enhancements on both 6870 and 6850 have improved anisotropic filtering algorithm and also looked into issues which caused some visual anomalies in the past generation.
Interesting comparison.
Interesting comparison. Though it is quite obvious there is an improvement of performance for the new cards, it may not be the best time to upgrade. With the way technology is advancing, we can expect better models to come out annually. Save the money to purchase an even more powerful model next year. That is if your current rig is powerful enough to handle today;s graphics.

I have heard that Evergreen architecture and the corresponding graphics card are very good in performance.
There are so many IT tools and devices that people may like but with reviews of the IT tools can help a customer make better choices. They can also learn from the ratings given for the IT products. A printer is known to be a useful technology.
