6800 Series Earns Worldwide Recognition and Media Awards

HIS Office, December 2, 2010

TODAY we are proud to announce that our HIS 6800 Series earns recognition and more than 30 Awards from the major media all around the world. Everyone loves to get good news and therefore we highlight some of the reviews and share them with you.



"To be fair, the HIS Turbo Edition has proven to be the best HD6870 we have tested yet, not because of the relatively minor ‘out of the box’ overclocks, but because we noticed a higher overclocking threshold, almost achieving 1ghz on the core. HIS HD6870 Turbo is good bet if you want kick ass gaming performance at high resolutions." - KitGuru "Must Have Award"


The Radeon HD 6870 comes in-between the 5850 and 5870 in performance, but the kicker is that it is much cheaper, runs cooler, and uses less power doing it. We think it is most impressive that the Radeon HD 6870 is using 25% less silicon, less transistors, lower power and temperatures compared to Radeon HD 5850, yet providing slightly faster performance! The 6800 series video cards are the fastest power friendly video cards we’ve ever seen and this is the most performance we've ever seen in this power envelope. AMD is now offering the highest performance ever seen at lower price points. In regards to the 6870, if you currently own a GTX 460 1GB then the 6870 is a major upgrade in performance. Any way you slice it, the current Radeon HD 6850 and Radeon HD 6870 offerings are stellar deals. Better performance, lower prices, lower power, lower temps, and just a really good gameplay experience! - HardOCP  "Gold Award"


"HIS HD 6870 Turbo 1GB GDDR5 Video Card might be considered mid-range, but it performs extremely well and is loaded with features. If you don't want to break the bank, but need an amazing video card, this is it. No matter if it's games, movies or other multi-display applications, this video card rocks."
-3D GameMan "100% KickAss"


 “AMD’s HD 6870 and HD 6850 are two cards that actually managed to exceed our expectations in nearly every conceivable way. HD 6870 has the ability to significantly outdistance the GTX 460 1GB at nearly every single resolution and IQ setting we used which came as a complete shock considering its price hovers around the $240 mark. In our opinion, the HD 6850 provides an excellent alternative to the GTX 460 768MB and has the ability to compete directly against the more expensive GTX 460 1GB. You can count the HD 6870 and HD 6850 as a kind of security net for future upgrades. With the HD 6870 and HD 6850, AMD has proven they can deliver evolutionary products that hit all the right points while remaining highly competitive performance-wise.”- Hardware Canucks "Dam Good Value"


“The HIS HD 6870 Turbo has a clear user in mind; it’s for someone that wants a little more performance for a little more price. It’s also clearly aimed at users who don’t want to overclock because they don’t know how to or simply can’t be bothered.”

“(Referring to HD 6850) GTX 460 1GB performance at GTX 460 768MB pricing, and with GTS 450 power draw. Really, what’s not to love? Tessellation performance has improved, power draw has dropped and heat has also dropped while keeping noise levels the same. Then there’s the fact that it performs pretty much in line with a HD 5850 for less.” TweakTown " Editor's Choice"


We appreciate the HDMI coming out of the DTS HD MA and Dolby Digital True HD bitstream. Also note that it is possible to extend the display on two, three or up to six monitors and extend the overall resolution.  we could say that AMD signs here a very good graphics card: performance in games, silent at rest and saving electricity." - Lesnumeriques "5stars Award"

This should give you an idea of just how much of a threat NVIDIA thinks the new Radeon HD 6870 is.  Radeon HD 6870, is the best mid to high-end graphics cards in the market right now... we feel that premium is justified because of its better overall performance and also the new features it offers." – Hardwardzone




"All the cards were quiet when idle and audible rather than loud when working hard .We' d therefore optfortheHIS HD 68701GB ,asit's the cheapest ."- CustomPC "Highest scores"



"Offering highly accurate performance for this price, the HD 6870 is an interesting place in the nomenclature of AMD coming to harm the GTX 460 1GB and nearly matching the GTX 470." - Centrale 3D "Gold Award"



"HIS HD 6870 Turbo is as solid as any other HD 6870 card on the market today, which means it comes at a good price/performance ratio, offers low power consumption and excellent connectivity features." - Techpower Up "Recommended Product"

"If you need one takeaway from the introduction of the Radeon HD 6850 and HD 6870, it should be this: the new GPUs offer everything the Radeon 5000-series do, and they add the cherry on top with extra features" –HEXUS "Recommended"


“AMD has the better product as far as I'm concerned. I'm stoked about this launch for a couple of reasons, the main one being the $/FPS ratio. One of the largest bonuses of AMD's recent cards to me has been power consumption. There's just no comparison. The HD 6870's TDP is 151W, and based on our testing, that seems about right.NVIDIA requires gamers to use two of its cards for multi-monitor gaming, so the fact that AMD continues to let gamers purchase an affordable card and power three monitors off of it is fantastic.” - Techgage "Editior's Choice"


“There were a few tests that matched the Radeon HD 6870 with the GeForce GTX 470, and then there were tests that pegged it against the 1GB GeForce GTX 460. Most times it required a heavily overclocked GTX 460 to find similar competition....occasionally competes with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470, and easily outperforms the 1GB GTX 460. Radeon HD 6870 shines as a solid gaming product.” – Benchmark


In this case we compared Radeona HD 6870 1GB to company overlocked GeForce GTX 460 1GB OC 800MHz/1000MHz, because both cards cost quite the same. Advantage of Radeona HD 6870 was very clear, Radeon won in 11 from 14 games in 1680x1050and in 10 from 14 games in 1920x120, having adequately on average 10% and 13% better results than the competitor." - In4.pl "Recommended"


"The higher frequencies and the different architecture optimizations are here to counterbalance that. Furthermore, the new tesselation unit is also a success and in the benchmarks the do better than the 5870 !  The 6870 is really here and announced the new card is allready the best choice in this price range. Not only for the performance/price/consumption ratio but also for the features with UVD 3 and EyeFinity. For all this reasons, we gave a gold award to the Radeon HD 6870 a fantastic anwser fo the only really valuable cards of the chameleon brand." - Comptoir Hardware "Gold Award"


"The Radeon HD 6870 are a good buy at a reasonable price, although depending on the trading day that we consulted, being new to the market, we see a very large price fluctuations in general prices we are seeing quite close to those marked by AMD" - Noticias3D "Highest Price/Performance Mark"


"Across the benchmarks the jump in performance is around ten per cent... We’d certainly plump for the HD 6870 1GB over the GTX 470 1,280MB despite the latter's slightly superior performance, thanks in majority to the HD 6870 1GB’s lower power consumption and un-intrusive non-nuclear cooler" - Bi-Tech "Recommended Product"


"Performance wise, the HIS Radeon 6870 Turbo easily beat the NVIDIA GTX 460 1GB, in many games it was enough of a difference to be noticeable. This is the first overclocked out-of-the-box 6870and it seems to be at a fair price/performance."
"The performance of the card is really good at this price point, and sits in the lower mid-range very well. HIS Radeon 6850 1GB either matched or beat our comparison card, I think they are being a little conservative here, or perhaps that's the point. The 6850 will perform better than or at least the same as a more expensive GTX 460 1GB." - Viperlair "Recommended Product"


"The HIS HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 Video Card is one of the best bang for the buck video cards out there. While it doesn't scream performance it is affordable and is jam packed full of features. Get a couple of these in a Crossfire setup and you're rockin'" - 3D Gameman "Gameman's Choice"
