14 DAY TRIAL // Though no real official information has, so far, been unveiled, the HD 6000 series of upcoming AMD video boards definitely do not suffer form lack of leaks, the latest ones even detailing, to some extent, the HD 6770 and HD 6750.
As some may know, Advanced Micro Devices intends to soon unleash yet another series of video cards, the Radeon HD 6000.
Not much is actually known about them besides that they will be based on the same 40nm manufacturing process as the HD 5000 series GPUs.
In this case, the Barts graphics processing unit will do most of the heavy lifting, with two distinct sources, Vr-Zone and PCinlife that is, uncovering a HD 6000 card each.
No pictures of the cards themselves are available, so far, but the overall specifications have supposedly been uncovered for the HD 6770 and 6750.
The main thing that will jump into view is that they are both visibly faster than their predecessors HD 5770 and HD 5750.
In fact, the HD 6770 looks as though it overtakes even the HD 5870 in certain areas, while the HD 6750 and 5850 seem to have identical memory bandwidth and pixel fill rate.
Regardless, they all have more ROPs, texture units and, of course, higher clock frequencies that those of the HD 5000 line.
The HD 6750 has GPU and memory clocks of 725 MHz (Barts PRO) and 1,000 MHz, respectively, whereas the HD 6770 operates at a full 900 MHz for the Barts XT chip and 1,050 for the GDDR5 VRAM.
Other specifications include 280 (x4) and 320 (x4) stream processors, 56 and 64 texture units and texture fill rates of 40.6 GTexel/s and 57.6 GTexel/s, respectively.
Of course, since this is all unofficial information and has not been confirmed in any way, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
Still, should it prove genuine, the board may actually give NVIDIA a hard time when they debut.
