Planing on getting a new video card Like a PowerColor AX6850 1GBD5-I2DH.

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 
Thinking about getting a PowerColor AX6850 1GBD5-I2DH http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131433.

Does this card offer any type of overclocking past the stock Core clock of 775MHz?

I dont know much about video cards so I dont know if it does.

I need a single slot card with cross fire.

Thanks for any help

You say new, as never used or latest gen? That card is from the last gen cards as AMD and venders like Power Color are in the 7xxx gen right now.

Most if not all cards will overclock past stock clocks, how much will depend on each card and your luck.

As in never used.
I know it is last gen but I havn't been able to find a current gen in a single slot with crossfire.

I did find an AFOX AF7850-2048D5S1 http://www.afox-corp.com/en/products_details.asp?proid=208&typeid=46
but cant find anyplace that sells them

Thank you

*EDIT*
I realized that i have not answer the question you actually asked, my bad = ]

If you are looking for a "single slot" 6850 in terms of case space... I am afraid that you are out of luck = \

Card you linked on new egg is not single slot. I is going to take space next to it. It doesn't need another slot's power but it will take its space. So will every other modern card to my knowledge.

On crossfire in general, you need exact same card to crossfire effectively. If exact same card is not found, I think the rule is, it has to be HD68xx family to even work together at all. generally its best to purchase a pair of cards of same model, same manufacturer and even same edition.
Otherwise, I am no expert in crossfire beyond that.

P.S. I believe AFOX is a Japanese VGA manufacturer and markets exclusively there. I saw some of AFOX cards being sold on ebay and the price tags on them were twice or three times what I paid for my "doublewide" card from ASUS = \ If price is not a concern at all, than look thru ebay. I tried doing a quick search and came short for the card you linked in the last post.

Thanks for the info.

Right now iI have a older Nvidia 8600gts, but my board is set for crossfire.

So right now I need a newer card that will work with crossfire, but I just need one card right now

I did some searching on the web about that card and found a video with that card http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S8ak6a_5N78 and at 3:55 in the video you can see the cards dimensions, and yes I know that guy is weird.
It is a single slot sized card and on the link I gave above there is a picture of the io plate wich you can see that it takes just one slot.

I also found this review on an Afox http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/af6850-1024d5s1-ngt440-1gqi-f1-n450gts-m2d1gd5,2949.html it says that power color was going to send them a card to test but they never recieved it.

Thanks for the input
