About This Product
The SAPPHIRE HD 6870 1600SP Edition is a mid-range GPU from AMD's Radeon HD 6000 series, featuring 1GB GDDR5 memory on a 256-bit interface. It offers 1600 stream processors, a significant increase over the standard HD 6870, providing improved performance in DirectX 11 titles. This card is suitable for 1080p gaming at medium to high settings in older games, or lower settings in more demanding modern titles. Its 175W TDP and dual 6-pin power connectors indicate a power draw typical for its performance class.
