AMD Radeon 6000

AMD has launched its new generation of graphics card - the 6000 Series. Code-named "Barts", two cards,  both of the 6800 Series are available now - HD 6850 and HD 6870. These two new cards are not the fastest graphics card out there and are not to be misunderstood to be in the same league as the HD 5850 and HD 5870 respectively. Even though they are named like the previous high-end graphics card they are aimed at the mid-range gaming market.
