Club3D Radeon HD 6870 X2 review -
Introduction

Ever since the release of the Barts series GPUs and the Radeon HD 6800 series cards that derived from it, performance was really nice for the money you need to put down. And heck can you believe that in October 2010 this generation was released, that's ten months already.
Meanwhile a lot has happened, the release of the series 6900 for example, and that Radeon HD 6990 with two GPUs. It's exactly in that sentiment that we test the product as is today, a dual-GPU Barts based graphics card. AMD had nothing to do with this design, this is a custom design product, that we can trace back all the way towards TUL actually. So we find that very innovative and interesting all by itself.
Club3D already started selling these puppies, here are the primary specifications.
- GPU Chipset: Barts XT
- GPU Clock: 900MHz
- Stream Processors: 1120
- Multi-GPU: CrossFireX
- Memory Size: 2048 MB
- Memory Interface: 256BIT
- Memory Type: GDDR5
- Memory Clock: 4200MHz
The product falls in the more affordable high-range segment of the market, it comes with DirectX 11 support and a plethora of features. Connectivity wise you can hook it up to any HD television or monitor as it is packed with DisplayPorts, HDMI and DVI connectors, yes... you'll spot a total of five connectors on this single mid-range based product, not bad.
So judging from the reference clock frequencies and specifications, this literally boils down towards two R6870 cards placed onto one product. And admittedly we love that stuff. So we'll head over into the review, we'll cover a thing or two about BARTS based processors, have a closer look at the Club3D Radeon HD 6870 X2.
But not before you had a peek of the card of course ....
Club3D Radeon HD 7870 Joker review
We test and review the Club3D Radeon HD 7870 Joker, this is the much discussed 7870 card that in fact has a 7900 series GPU, the Tahiti LE. For a fair amount of money this series 7800 product now offers 7900 series performance. Armed with 2GB of graphics memory it hits a sweet spot gaming performance wise and to date it one of the more popular products in the mainstream segment. Let's check out the Club3D Radeon HD 7870 Joker.

Club3D Radeon HD 7850 Royal Queen review
Club3D jumped the 7800 bandwagon as well with several models, and for this review we'll be looking at their Radeon HD 7850 Royal Queen edition which comes with 1 GB of graphics memory. The product comes default in many ways, except the cooler. Club3D uses a small PCB and pretty slim dual-slot cooler making the card very easy to install. The graphics card is equipped with one 6-pin PCIe power connector. As mentioned the card comes default/reference clocked at 860 MHz and the memory is clocked at a 4800 MHz reference as well.
