Sapphire HD6850 Toxic @ LanOC Reviews

Remember that new nVidia card, the GTX 580??  Well the new cooler features a technology that was first introduced by this company in the VaporX line of products.

Only a few weeks ago AMD introduced their 6800 series cards featuring both the 6850 and 6870. We covered the 6870 with both Single and Dual card reviews. It didn’t take long to see non-reference designs coming from Sapphire with their Toxic HD6850 being announced today. We have had the pleasure of putting the card through its paces to see how it compares to the 6870 in both price and performance. With the GPU being clocked at 820MHz over the stock 775MHz and a memory frequency bump of 400MHz, from 4000Mhz to 4400MHz it should perform well. But with a few less shaders, compaired to the HD6870, will it hold its own? How will it compaire to Nvidia's offerings?

So, when did Sapphire change their board colors from Red to Blue?  I guess it has been awhile now, Doh!.

So long red PCB.
