If there’s one thing that you should expect from today’s graphic cards, its that they’re massive space hogs. It’s not surprising for most of them to consume two, even three slots in your rig. The PowerColor HD 6850 we spotted at COMPUTEX is an oddity then, as it only consumes a single slot in your precious rig, making it a great choice for people who have very limited space in their rigs.
Of course, a thinner profile doesn’t mean that some of the features have been nerfed – the card has 1GB GDDR5 Memory, an engine clock of 775MHz, DirectX 11 support and all the other goodies that the reference 6850 is known for.
