Radeon HD 6850 DirectCU Edition Game Requirement Analysis

Radeon HD 6850 DirectCU Edition is a special edition of the Radeon HD 6850. See the page of the standard edition for more information about it.
The new features include an increase in the core-clock that went from 775MHz to 790MHz and a new cooling system called DirectCU with copper heatpipes in direct contact with the GPU for rapid heat dissipation. 20% cooler and quiet performance in idle, according to Asus.
The performance increase is very slightly and about 1% according to benchmarks, when compared to the reference card.
