Another Nice Review ccokeman!
I have said it before, I really like those ATI Cards. That one looks kinda snazzy too, just to bad you said the cooling unit was a bit lacking!
I really dig the 2 new DisplayPorts on the card as well! Thats pretty sexy! Smaller Cables FTW!

New graphs look sweet. Can easily see the reviewed unit since the color is consistent, very nice! 
Card is nice, wouldn't mind getting one. Though like Chuck said, its too bad the cooler is a bit lacking. I wonder why the change from a vapor chamber to a typical heatpipe solution.

I think the HD 6850 Toxic looks good but in a diffeerent way to the HD 5850 Toxic. The 5850 looked cool whereas this looks more businesslike. I probably like the styling of the 5850 more and it is a shame about the lack of the vapor chamber cooling. Hopefully they'll release a 6870 Toxic at Xmas for me to buy

Glad to see the approval of the new graphs. There was a ton of work behind getting it squared away.
Dont get me wrong about the cooling it does keep the card cool enough for a long and useful life. Its just warmer than others in its class!

The Graphs were heaps better. Much easier to read.
I was a bit disapointed that there was no vapor chamber cooling, although it didn't seem to hold back its overclocking ability.
