Technical data / specifications

ASUS provided the EAH6850 with 1'024 MByte graphics memory which clocks at 4'000 MHz. That the GPU comes with a standard core frequency of 790 MHz we already mentioned. There are furthermore 48 texture units which quite accurately shows that the HD6850 must be the successor of the HD5770. If you look at the power consumption of this card the manufacturers provide you with a TDP of 127 Watts which is very reasonable for a card with this level of performance.
