Have it from 2012. Gives consistent 60fps in DiRT 3 in FHD high settings Games like CSGO, DOTA 2 and valorant are well covered. Amazing mid range card when released. Still modestly strong.

I have one of these and they are performing well i can play some games that require 2 gb of vram with 1 gb of vram, i can reccommend this card if you have really small budget ... it's still worth it if you want to have it as an office GPU for microsoft office word then it's worth trying (with AMD Athlon X4 860K you can 1440p60 videos on youtube without any problem)

Worked quite a bit better than the statistics say it should I got it running 50 or so FPS on Battlefront 2017 where they say the min system requirements are 2GB graphics ram and the 6850 only has 1gb I was running the thing with an FX-4100 of all things.

ALL FAQs »

 Best User Rated
Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
Brands make boatloads on flagships like the 4090 and 14900KS. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands.
Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users?
Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data for users.
