AMD's New Radeon HD 6870 and 6850 Cards Debut
MojoKid writes "AMD has officially launched their new Radeon HD 6800 series of graphics cards and the company has managed to drive cost and power consumption out of the product, while increasing performance efficiencies in the architecture. The Radeon HD 6870 and Radeon HD 6850 are new midrange cards that offer similar performance to previous generation high-end offerings, but at significantly lower price points and with an enhanced tessellation engine for better support of next generation DX11 game engines. The cards compete well with NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 470 and 460 products, besting them in some scenarios but trailing in others. Word is AMD is readying their flagship high-end Radeon 6900 family for release in Q4 as well."
Sorry for the offtopic. Didn't know what I was talking about it seems. I have the classic index but the discussions where messed up.
I unchecked somthing about "Dynamic" under Discussions in the preferences (can't see exactly what since that page now doesn't look the same) and I got slashdot back to the way I wanted.
Prosp long and liver.
Just so you don't feel like a complete idiot, the same thing happened to me :)
Also, unchecking "Dynamic" under discussions didn't work for a period after it happened. It just turned itself on again :(
But, its back to the way it should be now!
