Best Mid-Level AMD Video Card (Under $200): FINALIST
Sapphire Toxic HD 6870 1GB
The SAPPHIRE HD 6870 Toxic Edition has the same graphics architecture as the standard model, with 1120 stream processors and 56 texture processing units, but the clock speeds are increased to 970MHz for the core (900MHz standard) and 1150MHz (1050MHz standard) for the memory giving you a considerable boost in performance. SAPPHIRE exclusive Vapor-X cooler ensures that the card runs quietly and efficiently. Together with other special hardware features including on-board 10-phase power control and SAPPHIRE’s highly efficient, cool running second generation Black Diamond chokes, the SAPPHIRE HD 6870 Toxic stands out from the crowd which is tailor-made for enthusiast users.
