AMD 6970M The beast has landed ! = 6850 Desktop.

[GasMask]

The new card from AMD their flagship mobile card has stunned even desktop users as it beats cards twice the size despite being slightly more money the card destroys anything it gets thrown at it.

Here are some examples of the card in operation and some proof of what the card can handle.

It also Says how the mobile card is tiny compared to its desktop counter parts it does not however beat the desktop 6970 ha ha but it certainly is tiny for its size and how much it throws out.

LAPTOPS STRIKE AGAIN.



The AMD Mobility Radeon HD 6970M (or sometimes called ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6970) is a high-end graphics card for big and heavy laptops. It is based on the desktop HD 6850 graphics card and therefore features the new UVD3 video processor and Eyefinity+. The codename of this GPU is Blackcomb XT and it should have a similar power consumption as the GeForce GTX 480M.

The 960 Stream processors should be still based on the "old" 5D architecture similar to the 5000 series. Therefore, the number of shaders is not comparable to the 1D cores of current Nvidia GPUs. The Tessellation performance should be improved (like the desktop 6800 series) with the new cards. The Stream processors can be used with DirectX 11, OpenGL 4.1, DirectCompute 11 and OpenCL. With the later two the cores can also be used for general computations like transcoding videos.

The 3D performance lies between the GeForce GTX 470M and 485M in the high end class of notebook graphic cards. In our tests the 6970M was on average 33% faster than a GeForce GTX 480M. The newer GTX 485M is still about 12% faster than the AMD card. Compared to the previous generation ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870, the Radeon 6970M is about 50% faster, but also need more electric power.

Temps range from....

Idle - 37 - 50
Load 70 - 90

Under volting the card seems to have no effect in games and here is the following temps from doing so....

Idle 40 - 48
Load 67 - 81

Congrats man! You got the Np8150? or the Np8170?

And this is a performer eh?

[GasMask]

I have the 8170 getting built as we speak using a mates 8150 with the 6970 its a beast all i can say is just a keeper the gpu is very nice MM.

[Darkpriest667]

and how many fans are cooling it to keep it from setting the table on fire.

[Devilmaypoop]

I'm pretty sure it has to have some LN2 poured into the Laptop case every day or so to keep it from melting or turning into a supernova.

[karamazovmm]

If Im not mistaken there are 2 fans on this case, each for the cpu and the gpu.

And overheating is something that doesnt happen on clevo

[GasMask]

3 Fans and they are great better than my desktop fans.

2 massive exausts fans at back also.

Idle temps are great.

Also if you look after your laptop they can out last desktops.

Same goes for desktops

I can max bad company 2 easy better than my mate with a 6870 desktop card its great lmao but there is one thing not normal he thinks he is ace with his desktop but he gets owned by me all the time im mobile also so i can choose to own him in asda maybe in the rest room ? maybe out or abroad ? Mobile gaming is good if you can afford it LOL.

6970M = 6790 desktop.

Errrr notebookcheck is not the most reliable site, for:

1) they are nvidia biased
2) they dont have a standard of testing
3) they dont publish with what they have tested as we know some drivers gives you great advantages when playing games.

Now the 6970m should be really comparable to the 6850, the clocks are about the same. However notebook gpus are a special breed they are different while being based on the desktop counterparts. My 4670m can match the 4670 desktop, while being slower in clocks, and the same thing applies to the 5870m and the 5770

they have needed optimizations in there.

If gas mask overclock his 6970m there is no problem that it should to the 6870 as other people have posted better results than this, but I digress, you should only compare standard clocks

[Erax]

In theory, the 6970M is a bit less powerful than the desktop 6850. No matter how much you overclock it, it won't go past desktop 6870 in performance. Besides... OCing laptops, doh

doh, if never fiddled with laptops doh, you wouldnt now that not only that is possible, but it nets great results sometimes, doh, in that laptop its not even a problem , doh

and yes it can reach the 6870 performance levels doh, just read the sagers owners lounge on notebookreview, doh

[Devilmaypoop]

I can max bad company 2 easy better than my mate with a 6870 desktop card .

Your friend either has a massive bottleneck or underclocked his card to 600mhz, because the desktop 6870 is easily faster than the 6970m.

I'm thinking he's either using a dual core/has 2 gb ram/both.

[GasMask]

Its the 6870 desktop guys the card just came out its been tested and it has the same FPS as the 6870 it has more power consumption than the 6870 and it is more powerful than them others you stated sorry to burst your bubble !.

The clocks look at the clocks.

!!!!!!!!!!!!

READ THE SAGERS FORUMS FFS AND BE STUNNED.

PROOF is on the forums guys DOHHHHHHH.

You're very wrong, and dont know a thing about GPU's if you think it's all about clock rates. 6870 has about 200 more stream processors than a 6970M, and is much faster anyways.

[Erax]

The clocks look at the clocks.

I'm not really interested in looking for proof to validate YOUR arguments. Especially from a very biased forum. Post the proof yourselves.

[GasMask]

Its as if we are just aliens to some people something great in technology comes out and i love to post about it and then desktop wannabes come in and slate the hell out of it if anything this is a step forward for many people this card shows AMD can keep all that power in such a small chip its so amazing i am glad that i am going to own this despite what anyone says.

If you are looking for proof go to sager forums instead of spurting pure BS the proof is their right in front of you.

We are all the same gamers here we all play on the PC right ? well some people have to have laptops like myself i have no time for a desktop guys its all i have .

Cheers.

Oh and MR MM did you say you had xfire or steam ? im doing a full review of my new laptop i was going to invite you and a few others before i start the live broadcast !

Hope your interested !

CHEERS from Gas Mask.

[karamazovmm]

I have steam yes, my name is karammaovmm

[GasMask]

You mislead my main words look at the clocks not the stream processors......


Core clock

Memory clock

Also thanks don't you see you just contradicted yourself its not more powerful than the 6870 but has simalair performance to it no it does not have the extra 200 stream processors but it still keeps up with the desktop card.

Matter of the fact is im going to enjoy my laptop despite what card it beats next year im just going to crossfire another anyway which will own any desktop card single only not crossfire !

Good luck playing games in your house i have the whole world to explore with my mobile machine GG.

No I didnt? The 6970M has a core clock of 680mhz I think, and 6870 has a core clock of 900mhz. It also has 8 more texture units. It's much faster, you cant just understand it because you are so stubborn and child like. Arguing with you is like talking to a 7 year old, and you cant even prove your points.

The memory bandwidth is also much faster..

[Erax]

The desktop 6870 has more stream processors and has higher core clocks and memory clocks.
And a 6970m crossfire will still lose 10-0 to a 6990 or a gtx 590.
