What is the difference between ATI Radeon 6850 vs ATI Radeon 6870. After searching many sites the most suitable card for my Gigabyte motherboard I found the ATI Radeon 6000 series as the best one. Now I have some of my friends who are using this two models. I played some games just for testing in both of the cards. I does not find any major difference, the only thing I can assume that as the other one is higher in series so it might have some more power. The graphics card is now a specific need for today's 3D applications, even the operating system. So it is actually a fixed hardware. I believe that it is better to save a little money on the processor or memory and use the same to buy a good graphic card. Now buying is a big confusion today due to the wide range of models and features. I choose this too and need help to select one among this. I want more on performance related to power consumption and compatibility. I know that there are Radeon 9000, Radeon 9500 and Radeon 9700 models too but there are quiet out of my budget. Because adding them will need to upgrade my system also, and that I am not in a mood to do. On the other hand nvidia is also a proper choice but I found buggy issue with the driver while ATI is clear in the picture.
