Sapphire HD 6850 1GB Vapor-X Edition

Antara perkenalan seri baru dari kartu video antara AMD dan nVidia, pasar grafis relatif tenang. Apa yang kita lihat, bagaimanapun, adalah mitra AMD keluar dengan variasi yang berbeda dari kartu didasarkan dari sebuah platform asli. Sapphire telah mendominasi pasar dan menjaganya agar tetap sibuk karena perkenalan nya atas-end video card yang menawarkan hal yang berbeda. Baru-baru ini, Sapphire mengejutkan banyak dari kita dengan HD, Beracun 6950 yang overclock seperti mimpi dan menunjukkan peluang sukses sementara berkedip ke bios HD 6970. Beberapa minggu yang lalu Sapphire HD 6850 membawa Vapor-X edisi ke meja. Akhiran Vapor-X berarti penggunaan pendingin ruangan yang dirancang khusus uap yang membawa harapan untuk kemampuan pendinginan. Referensi gaya blower umumnya cukup, tapi bisa sangat keras pada kecepatan penuh. Pendingin efisiensi yang lebih tinggi, seperti yang ditemukan pada Vapor-X edisi kartu video, dapat mencapai hasil yang sama tetapi dapat melakukannya pada tingkat yang jauh lebih rendah dari volume.

Sapphire telah menjadi pelopor dalam menjaga pasar agak menarik, setidaknya untuk orang-orang Tim Merah. Kita sudah melihat 'kartu di sini pada OCC, tapi sampai saat ini dengan beberapa GTX 580 review, nVidia belum benar-benar memiliki apa-apa' satu atau dua lainnya AMD produsen yang berbeda 'memukul rak-rak dalam beberapa waktu. Namun meskipun, kita semua bisa setuju bahwa kita siap untuk melihat lebih banyak. Semoga dengan peluncuran Bulldozer dan kita akan mendapatkan beberapa berita tentang mungkin atas baru dari GTX5X0 garis dari nVidia, dan mungkin beberapa petunjuk tentang generasi berikutnya AMD kartu video.
Hari ini saya akan melihat Sapphire HD 6850 1GB Vapor-X Edisi. Garis Vapor-X yang sudah mapan dan dikenal luas, dan saya bersemangat untuk melihatnya terus tumbuh. The Vapor-X teknologi menerapkan prinsip yang sama digunakan oleh heatpipe, hanya dalam bentuk yang berbeda. Sebuah kapal dengan tekanan interior yang sangat rendah (vakum) berisi cairan yang mudah menguap dan mengembun tergantung pada suhu. Bentuk kental menyerap banyak energi (panas) dari mati GPU dan menguap, bergerak ke arah luar di mana ia didinginkan, kemudian mengembun untuk melengkapi siklus. Hampir setiap kartu video baru dan heatsink prosesor mengintegrasikan gagasan sendiri, hanya bahwa garis Vapor-X menempatkan bersama-sama pada skala yang lebih besar.

Sapphire HD 6850 1GB Vapor-X Edisi adalah seperti itu dari HD asli 6850: 960 stream prosesor pada mati proses 40nm, 1GB 256-bit memori GDDR5, dukungan Eyefinity, dll, tapi clock sedikit lebih tinggi pada 800 / 4400mhz bukan 780/4000mhz. Saya baru-baru keberuntungan pada overclocking Sapphire HD 6950 2GB DiRT 3 Edisi Beracun, dan saya bersemangat untuk memberikan kartu ini tembakan. Saya akan memulai dengan menampilkan kartu tersebut, itu paket, apa yang di bawah kap mesin, dan spesifikasi. Setelah itu, saya akan memberikan tembakan di overclocking dan kemudian tes sejati akan mulai!

  • Enjoy the benefits of the latest generation display interface, DisplayPort. With the ultra high HD resolution of 2560 x 1600 the graphics card ensures that you are able to support the latest generation of LCD monitors.

• Single-Link DVI-D
  
  • Supports Digital monitors up to 1920x1200 resolution.

• DisplayPort 1.2
  
  • Doubling the effective bandwidth of previous DisplayPort implementations, DisplayPort 1.2 now includes support for Multi-Stream, allowing you to drive up to four separate monitors from a single DisplayPort 1.2 connector (requires DP1.2 monitors or Multi-Stream compatible hub), Stereoscopic 3D monitor support  and adds support for high quality, lossless, 7.1 channel audio formats.

• Advanced GDDR5 Memorty Technology
  
  • GDDR5 memory provides twice the bandwidth per pin of GDDR3 memory, delivering more speed and higher bandwidth.

• AMD Eyefinity
  
  • AMD Eyefinity technology maximises your field of view across up to three displays, fully engaging your peripheral vision.  For gamers this puts you right IN the game and for other applications it helps to increase productivity by maximising your visual workspace so that you can see more windows simultaneously.  AMD Eyefinity technology is also ideal for multimedia applications as it allows you to keep several ‘palettes’ or ‘panels’ open over a larger workspace whist you edit your images or videos.

• Vapor-X Technology
  
  • SAPPHIRE’s innovative Vapor-X cooling technology allows products to run not only cooler but also much quieter.  A Vapor-X product means a virtually silent gaming experience and more headroom to explore performance tweaking !
