Lantic might not be a company you have heard of before. Currently being sold in Taiwan, China, Vietnam, etc and expanding onto the European market towards the end of the year, there is a chance you will be hearing more and more of the company in the coming months. Today we are looking at the Lantic Radeon HD 6870 and since all cards follow the reference design at the moment, we thought why not pair it together with another Radeon HD 6870 and run that in CrossFire. Of course, we have already looked at these Radeon HD 6870 in CrossFire so we thought it was time to overclock the model and see what happens with the actual performance, and as such bring new gaming heights to the public. - TweakTown

Lantic Radeon HD 6870 1GB CrossFire Config Review

Looking at the card, it follows the reference design which comes as no surprise since currently they are all made by AMD. We have got two 6-pin PCI Express power connectors at the top of the card along with a single CrossFire connector. And when you take the card out of the package you see Lantic has included a number of little protectors on all the connectors. We've seen companies do this in the past, but we have even got little ones on the mini DisplayPort ports. Being a reference designed graphics card, we also see reference clock speeds which put the core at 900MHz and the 1GB of GDDR5 memory at 4200MHz effective.

Of course, we mentioned that we are overclocking the cards today and while we hoped to have used Sapphire's new Trixx overclocking software which allowed us to use voltage, when we fired up the program and changed anything we would get a hard lock on the system. What this meant though, was that we had to go back to old faithful Afterburner software which didn't allow us to adjust the voltage of the card, so for that reason we didn't think our overclock would be as strong and it wasn't. Still, we ended up with some nice clocks. Their core got up to 970MHz on both cards and we rounded the memory off to a sounding 4400MHz effective.

Lantic bring us another Radeon HD 6870 that's worth owning. And at the moment there's very little between all brands and that really means outside of the bundle coming with nothing, it's easy to recommend most versions of these card we are looking at. Paired up with another Radeon HD 6870 the Lantic goes real strong in CrossFire, which for us isn't much of a surprise since we have looked at stock CrossFire results for the Radeon HD 6870 already. More importantly though, it goes really well when overclocked. It's important to know that every test we ran today we would consider playable and running smooth throughout.

Today we saw all newly introduced games hit 60 frames and yes, while we might be just on the mark, it's still very impressive. Seeing this today has to make you excited about what the Radeon HD 6900 series is going to bring to the table. It's looking like AMD has a very strong line up here and it's going to be interesting to see how NVIDIA respond, but more importantly, what NVIDIA respond to. Lantic has got a nice Radeon HD 6870 here and show us when combined with another and overclocked just what kind of performance you can get out of this model.
