As the leaves start falling here in Sweden, AMD is once again releasing its fall-collection of GPU's. The GPU's we will look at today are the HD6850 and HD6870, codenamed Bart XT and 'Bart pro' from the Norther Island series. The names suggest that these are replacements for the HD5850 and HD5870, but this isn't actually the case. AMD changed their numbering scheme, and the HD68xx GPUs are mid-range cards instead of enthusiast-level cards. The enthusiasts will have to wait until November when the full range of HD69xx cards, codenamed Cayman, comes out. The HD69xx will replace the HD5870 and HD5970 as the enthusiasts' choice.
