Resident Evil V is the newest installment of the Resident Evil series. The game comes with a built in benchmark that features a bunch of zombies walking around the center of a village. Believe it or not this seemingly simple benchmark can push video cards way out of their comfort zone!
The performance trend of the 6800 series continues with the HD 6850 pulling ahead of the HD 5830, and the 6870 coming in just shy of the HD 5870. These are impressive gains in performance over the HD 5700 series, showing that AMD has succeeded in bringing the performance of the Cedar core to the mainstream level.

Nice job, AMD.
And it was a nice review too, I read it completely.
Great crossfire scaling too
Two things that I really dislike about the cards though.
1. A single crossfire bridge. Obviously people need a reason to still buy the 58xx series over these great price/performance monsters but if they really are the 57xx successor they should still have two bridges. The 5770 rebadge to 6770 will likely see most models with two crossfire bridges. Poor choice IMO on their part.
2. Overclocking. With clocks already so high overclocking really suffers. Hopefully the 69xx will fare better in that department. The 68xx isnt bad at overclocking but just average.
I have a Storm Scout, so the 5870 doesn't fit in my case because it's too long, I'd have to mod it. If the 6870 is smaller than the 5870 and will fit in my case without modding, I'll buy two right now haha.
Thanks
