AMD's 6xxx series cards?

What is really going on with the release of these new cards and a new naming system?
Well I'm totally confused. When I first read about these cards a few weeks ago, I didn't know what to expect from these cards because I couldn't understand what to expect from a specific model.
Is the 6870 a 5870 replacement?
Well, no.. Read on..
Now for the people who are interested in the new 6xxx series, I've tried to do my best in compiling bits of information that I could gather from the internet.


Firstly, The Name Change:

From the information that I've been able to gather, TSMC, ATI's fabrication plant was unable to deliver cards based on the 32nm manufacturing technology. Now the 32nm would have allowed ATI to reduce the cost per GPU die while achieving higher clock speeds and lowering power consumption. What ATI have gone ahead and done is continuing to manufacture the 5700 series cards while renaming this to the new 6800 series.
Check out this article for more: (http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2010/10/22/ati-radeon-hd-6870-review/1)

Allright, So first we have the 6800 series cards. 6870 and the 6850.

These cards are based on the Barts core that we saw in the 5700 series.

In the 6900 Series, We've got 6970 and the 6950.

Calling all Gamers, This is our Revolution!

I've finally decided on getting something done with my life and I'm really happy about the fact that I've got some great, intelligent, intellectual friends who I know can carry this with me.

Well, I'm talking about my new job and also my new project. I am the new self-proclaimed "Editor-in-Chief" for my dear friend Wykrhm "Arthas" Reddy's venture AE Corporation. I (no, "we") have also come up with a great idea of an information portal for all the gamers in India. With the gaming scene developing in India, There is really no place where Indian gamers can call "home" or "hang-out" or even make friends or network with others who share the same interests. True that we have portals like Zapak.com, Gamerguru.in and these are great websites however, I really did not find anything interesting about them. Why? Because they don't talk about gaming on a general level. They don't provide information to a gamer about what is going on in the gaming industry nor do they talk about events in India! No wonder gamers here have no idea of what is going on except for word-of-mouth which usually comes from Friends and "cafe-mates". And being a gamer, honestly, we all do feel left out.

So, we've decided on dedicating our jobless lives in giving something back to the community. We've decided on creating a Portal where gamers can find everything they would want to know about gaming in India, Events, updates from the Indian and international Game industry, Previews, reviews, you demand, you get.

This platform will focus on content that will cater to a wide gaming audience - hey, your dad might like Ping Pong, Mario, Zelda or Solitaire. What if we can get him playing with other dads on the interwebs? Isn't that cool? Certainly is when he gets easily convinced to buy you the new Assassin's Creed :) (win-win?)

We want to create a platform to give you a sense of achievement, a feeling of attachment with gaming. You've worked hard, You've played tournaments, You wish to be known, You want to know how people are playing, You want to read minds! WE will give you all that; WE want you gamers to stand up to the international gaming scene. We want "us" to become a potential market for all major players in the industry.

We want to give you content that you will love the most, event updates, what people are playing, Hell, we will also give you a live-stream and a chatbox to talk to people. Maybe, you might just find someone interesting! Who can make this possible? YOU. Join us. We will set the stage on which we can revolutionize Gaming for India, by India.

Our aim is in building an inclusive ecosystem. If you've just read a review, share your feedback. If you think you need to get that game, We will have an online store implemented where you can buy it from sellers or other users or even better, borrow!
Do you like art, photography, music, kung-fu or anything under the sun? Join us in our discussion boards where you will meet a million people with same or like interests! Are you a game programmer? Story writer? Do you want to teach people what you know? Hell, you're at the right place! Show people what you know! Are you a website or a freelancer? Hop-on! We've got a million seats on our train of glory. You want to partner us? We love friends! Who doesn't?

We want this to be the dawn of a new era for Gaming in India.
Lets draw our Swords together!

Design Change

Hello People..

I thought it would be a good idea to change the template. I think its fits really well :)

Aion Classes

There are four primary classes that players can select from when they create a new character: Warrior, Scout, Mage and Priest. Once you have gained enough experience, you will be able to ascend to one of the two specialized classes available to your primary class.

Asmodian Character Selection Screen



Elyos Character Selection Screen



"While these specialized classes have well defined roles, feel free to try different classes in order to find the right one for your particular style of play!" - AION ONLINE.

Classes in Aion

1. The Warrior
2. The Scout
3. The Mage
4. The Priest


THE WARRIOR


Fearsome and hulking, a Warrior’s way is found more through brute force and great resilience than guile and trickery. However, do not be fooled into thinking that Warriors are brainless or simple-minded. A Warrior bears the brunt of the attack and can reply with tremendous force and power. Do not fail to appreciate what these soldiers can do for you or your group.



Once a warrior completes its ascension quest it will be able to wear plate armor after choosing to become one of the following subclasses:

:: Templar

Calling the Templar a maestro of defense wouldn’t be far from the truth, but one shouldn’t mistake its only purpose: to be an Atreian punching bag. With their high defense and various shield skills, Templars can also inflict some serious damage on their opponents. Depending on the situation, a Templar can swap a sword or mace (and shield) for a greatsword. While its ability to deal damage may be lower when compared to other classes, it would be unwise to ignore the Templar’s powerful attacks.


:: Gladiator

Gladiators are Daevas who follow the Star of the Sword. They expertly wield most melee weapons and are especially proficient using polearms. Their ultimate goal is to obtain a variety of battle skills according to each weapon’s properties. However, rather than flamboyant techniques or tricks, they prefer to attack the enemy with power and accuracy. Therefore, Gladiators reveal their true value in close combat. They also perform crucial roles in most legions.


THE SCOUT


If the Warrior is about grit, power and sheer strength, then the Scout concerns itself more with speed, agility and awareness. Scouts are complex men and women who pride themselves on a delicate touch and a measured approach. Once they learn their inherent strengths and weaknesses, Scouts can be formidable opponents.

Although leather armor does not mitigate damage well, the Scout’s ability to evade most attacks makes them hard to hit and allows them to strike back with devastating counterattacks.

Two paths for a Scout

:: Assassin

The Assassin is a killing specialist that follows the Star of Death. After hiding itself, an Assassin quietly approaches the enemy and aims for vital spots to inflict the greatest damage in the quickest time. This is one of the Assassin’s trademark combat skills. Some Daevas have criticized this class for ambushing defenseless enemies or using poisoned blades. However, the Assassin is necessary in the legions for the roles of infiltration, disruption, assassination, and more.

:: Ranger

A Ranger is a Daeva with exceptional archery skills. Not only can a Ranger expertly wield a bow, but can make good use of a sword and dagger for close combat. The Ranger is also a master with various traps, making it both a formidable opponent on its own and a valued member of any group. Being skilled in both short and long range attacks combined with the ability to manipulate traps makes the Ranger able to adapt easily to nearly any situation. However, arrows and especially trap ingredients can become costly, making the Ranger one of the more expensive classes.




THE MAGE


A Mage, while incredibly powerful, can be exceptionally vulnerable. They are able to deal out terrifying, awe-inspiring levels of damage at range, while taking little in return. Mages have command over the elements, summoning raging fireballs and chains of the coldest ice to wreak havoc over ranks of the enemy. They can even speak to the shattered planet, calling forth roots to bind enemies in place.

The mage comes equipped with cloth armor, and while not very resilient, it allows the caster the ability to move around the battlefield casting spells that slow and, in some cases, even stop their opponents in their tracks. This gives them the opportunity to unload with spells that deal immense amounts of damage to their opponents.

Two paths for a Mage in Aion.

:: Sorcerer

The Sorcerer is a Daeva who follows the Star of Magic. They are able to freely wield the destructive power of the natural elements: Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water. A Sorcerer is a scholar at heart, evident by the spellbooks and orbs they normally carry with them. However, these items can be dangerous weapons in their hands as they help increase a Sorcerer’s power.



:: Spiritmaster

The Spiritmaster is a Daeva born under the Star of Spirits, and is able to control spirits of Water, Fire, Earth, and Wind. It can call upon these spirits to attack directly, but it can also use indirect tactics such as borrowing the strength of the spirits to weaken an enemy or to inflict fear.



THE PRIEST



Finally, the Priest is arguably the backbone of any successful group. Their ability to keep allies alive even in the direst of circumstances cannot be underestimated, and Priests can be absolutely vital in ensuring groups survive against the most pressing challenges in Atreia. Who would go into battle without a trustworthy Priest by their side?

However, do not mistake the Priest’s ability to heal for a lack of offense. While their offensive spells and melee attacks each may lack compared to other classes, the combination of the two and the ability to heal make the Priest a resilient and effective combatant.

The paths for a priest in Aion are

:: Chanter

The Chanter can be explained in two words: commandment and conviction. It rigorously trains the body and mind to become skillful in healing, attacking, and enhancement magic. In addition to its magical abilities, it also possesses exceptional skills involving the use of the staff. The chanter uses mantra magic to inspire the morale of allies, and since it can strengthen abilities, it is the gathering center during battle.



:: Cleric

The Cleric is a Daeva who follows the Star of Healing. It uses magic power to strengthen the body and to heal injuries. It can also restore life by using a revival spell when a Daeva’s soul and body are separated. In addition to supporting its allies, it is also capable of wielding a mace and shield when a melee battle occurs.

Unlock cores on an AMD Phenom II processor!

source: overclock.net (raxen) (http://www.overclock.net/amd-cpus/535501-amd-phenom-ii-core-unlocking-guide.html)

Introduction
Core unlocking of AMD processors has been the hot topic of discussion all over the internet. The possibility of spending a mere Rs.4,500 for a x2 or a x3 processor and unlocking the factory locked cores to yield a x4 chip (Rs. 9,500- Rs. 11,000) is exactly the dream for every over clocker around - spend the least amount of money possible and get the most bang for your buck. This is exactly what people have been wanting to do from the time the processor is installed.

I've consolidated all information I could find on the internet to help you unlock your cores and answer your questions. Oh and remember - CORE UNLOCKING IS NOT ALWAYS 100% SUCCESSFULL.

Architecture and Information
The Phenom II is AMD's answer to Intel's Core2Duo and Core2Quad series. Manufacturing series for the Phenom II are Phenom II x4 (Quad Core), Phenom II x3 (Tri-Core) and Phenom II x2 (Dual-Core).

At the fabrication plant (Global Foundries) all processors were being manufactured as a Quad Core, not all the processors make it successfully- there might be a faulty core. Now what AMD does here is, instead of discarding the faulty processor, they could just lock the faulty core or cores and have them retailed as Dual core or Tri core processors. Not only is AMD benefitting from this, also saving the consumer budget market by providing them with processors that are very affordable.

Now, depending on increase in market demand, a few of these Quad core processors might deliberately have a lock set on 2 cores or 3 cores. If this is the kind of processor that you have, then you are in for a treat!

Now, Let's look at some specifications of the Phenom II x2

Clock Frequency - 3.1 GHz
Max TDP- 80 Watts
Cache- L1 Cache 64k (per core), Each for instruction
L2 Cache 512KB per core
L3 Cache 6MB Shared
Process Technology - 45 nanometer SOI (Silicon-On-Insulator) technology
Transistors - Approximately 758 MILLION.

The surge in demand for these processors started when a Korean overclocker unlocked a Phenom II x3 720BE using Advanced Clock Calibration (ACC) on a motherboard with the SB750 Southbridge which supported that. The motherboard the guy used was a Biostar TA790GX. Soon after, others reported successful unlocks and thus led the rise in demand for the processor.
AMD at this point, deliberately locked cores on a x4 processor to satisfy this market demand.
"so?" ... Well, the chances that you might have a un-lockable processor just got better :)

Parts needed
:: AMD Phenom II processor [Heka (Tri-Core) OR Callisto (Dual-Core)]
(**AMD Athlon II x2 and x3 can be used.)
:: A motherboard with ACC support (SB710 or SB750 Southbridge) or NCC (nVidia's ACC) AND should
support core-unlocking.

Choosing the right processor
As specified before, Phenom II x2 processors are actually x4 processors with 2 disabled cores and
Phenom II x3 processors are actually x processors with 1 disabled core.
If ACC is enabled with the motherboard that has a feature of unlocking cores, you've got yourself a winner!
Basically, you could choose from a Phenom II x2 550 Black Edition or,
Phenom II x2 555 Black Edition or,
Phenom II x3 720 Black Edition.
Why these processors? Because if the unlock does not happen, you can always overclock these processors (Black editions).

If you need help with a particular stepping, have a look at these links:

2. 720BE Steppings with Successful/Failed Unlocks
   

FOR ALL MOTHERBOARDS- GO TO THE END OF THE POST

THE UNLOCKING PROCESS

All right, let's get down to business. Core unlocking is quite simple.

Step1 : Get into the BIOS of your computer.
Step2: Set the Automatic Clock Calibration (ACC) or nVidia Core Calibration (NCC) to AUTO.
*Important: Some motherboards feature a setting "EC Firmware" . Now, this needs to be
set to "special" (also "hybrid" on some motherboards). For a few ASUS and
Gigabyte motherboards, you will need to enable Unleashing.
Step3: Reboot!

If this process is successful, you should see your processor information showing you x4 for 4 CORES. You probably just unlocked your processor .. Congratulations!!

Boot into Windows and run stability tests on the processor. Suggested test: Use Prime95 "Blend Test", run it for 12 hours to ensure stability before overclocking the processor.

I see x4, But I have only 2 cores
Some users have been reported seeing the "X4" designation, but no unlocked cores when verifying through CPU-Z. Please ensure that you have set Windows to use all 4 cores by going to "msconfig --> Boot --> Advanced Options --> Number of Processors." If you still don't see unlocked cores, then most likely that your disabled cores are defective.

HELP!! My computer can't POST!!
If your computer didn't POST, don’t despair. Here's a list of things you should verify and try, one after the other.

1. Do you have the proper BIOS version installed?
   *For those with Asus motherboards, please update your bios to the latest version. It fixes significant problems encountered with unlocking.*
2. Is ACC or NCC enabled? For Asus/Gigabyte motherboards, how about "Unleashing" and "EC Firmware"?
3. Did you incrementally increase Vcore from 1.325 to 1.4v?
4. Did you incrementally increase Vcpu-nb from 1.2 to 1.35v after trying to increase Vcore?

The voltage boosts may be needed when making the fourth core stable enough to boot into windows.
If your computer still doesn't POST, then most likely your disabled cores are defective. In general, the unlocking process is really that simple. There are no hidden options or tricks.

If you want to get back to the way it was, Clear the CMOS settings on the motherboard using the CMOS jumper. Check your motherboard manual for the JUMPER location and how to perform this step.

Unlocking disabled cores should be seen as a bonus, and not a feature.

Consequences of Unlocking
While some of you will be lucky enough to see the "X4" designation during POST, not all of you will be able to boot into Windows. A simple Vcore/Vcpu-nb boost may help stabilize the unlocked cores, but ultimately the cpu may remain unstable and crash later on. Unfortunately, your disabled cores are most likely defective.

For those who can unlock and pass any stability test you can throw at the computer, congratulations. However, you may have already noticed that you can no longer monitor your cpu core temperatures. Fortunately, most motherboards have a cpu temperature sensor located in the cpu socket area. It is up to you to find out how closely this temperature reading relates to the actual cpu core temperatures.

To do so, revert back to a locked X2/X3 state and download HWMonitor. Depending on your motherboard, the cpu socket temperature sensor can be TMPIN0, TMPIN1, or TMPIN2. Next, observe how closely TMPIN0 or TMPIN1 or TMPIN2 relates to core temperatures at 100% load. This will tell you your approximate temperatures when unlocked. You can use this reading as a rough estimate of your core temperatures.

You may also notice that your computer runs hotter after unlocking. This is perfectly normal, as you've got an extra core or two generating heat. As a result, for those who plan on unlocking, get the best cooler you can possibly afford. For those on a budget, the Xigmatech s1283, OCZ Vendetta 2, and the Sunbeam Core Contact Freezer are the recommended choices. Those who have unlimited budgets will want a Prolimatech Megahalem, or more exotic cooling solutions such as water or TEC. Keep your cpu cool, and it will reward you back with high overclocks.

Conclusion
Good luck with Phenom II core unlocking. The take-home point however, is the following:
AMD Phenom II X2 and X3 processors have disabled cores which can be unlocked using the right motherboard and BIOS. Ultimately, however, those cores were disabled for a reason.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Motherboard List (Ongoing Work):
CONTRIBUTIONS WELCOME!! - If you see your mobo not on the list but you have successfully unlocked, post a screenshot of CPU-Z showing 4 cores and the mobo + bios revision like the sample below and I'll add it to the list.
This list is NOT COMPLETE WHATSOEVER. If your motherboard is not on the list, don't assume it won't work. Give things a try with the directions below.

Special note about KA790GX/KA790GX-M motherboards: Even though these two motherboards have a SB750, the traces to activate ACC are not soldered on the PCB. As a result, they WILL NOT unlock anything.
