Every time, the same accident happens. Someone, somewhere, lists the cards before their official release debut. Hehe, well this time it’s a Dutch etailer called Informatique.nl that got listed Radeon HD 6850 and Radeon HD 6870 at 190€ and 255€ respectively. It means that HD6850 is price wise placed in between GTX460 768MB and GTX 460 1GB, while HD6870 seems to outperform almost every GTX460 on the market – at least using Futuremark’s 3DMark benchmark. The other one, HD5870 seems to be the missing link that found between 5850 and 5870, priced and placed one step higher than GTX460 1GB.

We can’t wait to review these babies and then decide which is the most value for money solution for your gaming rig. For the time being, GTX460 still holds the 160 Euros spot, which is a nice clever and affordable price for most of the users out there.
