Radeon HD 6870 XFX 2GB Edition Game Requirement Analysis

Radeon HD 6870 XFX 2GB Edition is a special edition of the Radeon HD 6870, part of the Radeon HD 6000 Series released by AMD in 2010/2011. See the page of the standard version for more information about it.
Compared to the standard edition, Radeon HD 6870 XFX Black Edition has increased video memory that went from 1GB to 2GB. The performance boost is almost none because this GPU does not benefit from a larger frame buffer.
