AMDFTW · Oct 5, 2011

just wondered what the equivalent is for the 6850 as ime thinking of getting one

FragTek · Oct 5, 2011

The nVidia equivalent? Probably a GTX 460.

AMDFTW · Oct 5, 2011

hmm i thought as much i assume the 1gb version?

FragTek · Oct 5, 2011

Yeah that's my guess on the closest equivalent.

Do you have a 6850 now?

AMDFTW · Oct 5, 2011

no i was thinknin of gettin one as a upgrade from my 260

The GTX460 is actually better than the HD6850, the GTX460SE is closer in performance.

AMDFTW · Oct 5, 2011

i might save for a 6870 then

FragTek · Oct 5, 2011

I bought 6870's because they are insanely cheap and the performance is damn good for the price.

They are pretty much the same performance wise the 460 is slightly better with Nvidia optimized games though, as usual.
