[O/C]AMD Partners Ready Overclocked 6870s, Plus Catalyst Update

[Overclockers.com]

Last night we received word that AMD's manufacturing partners are going to be introducing new models of their HD 6870 cards. They gave three examples of what to expect.

Sapphire-Toxic Version clocked at 975MHz engine, 1100MHz Memory clock.
XFX-Black Edition clocked at 940MHz engine, 1150MHz Memory clock.
PowerColor: clocked at 940MHz engine, 1100MHz Memory clock.

Prices will range anywhere from $229 to $259, depending on the partner. Not too bad, especially considering the Toxic is knocking on the door to a 1 GHz GPU clock from the get-go.

FYI, there is a leaked 11.1a hotfix out in the wild. Unfortunately it was the first version released to the press and there is already an update that fixes an OGL tessellation bug.

Always beware leaked drivers.

FYI, the 11.1 hotfix will be released to the public on Tuesday, January 26th.

Info just received from AMD:

In light of the public release of the Catalyst 11.1a Driver yesterday January 26th, we’d like to highlight that the Hot-Fix 11.1a driver enables our MLAA feature on our ATI Radeon HD 5800 & HD 5900 series graphics cards.

Beginning Catalyst 11.2 we will officially add support for MLAA on 5800/5900 series as well.
