Today we again received more information on AMD's new generation of graphics cards "Radeon HD 6000" (model name to be confirmed), including the starting time and some new features.

Sources tell us that AMD will officially announce the first members of the Radeon HD 6000 series family on October 12 of this year, including the development of two models, code-named “Barts XT” and “Barts PRO,” which will replace the mid- to high-end performance-class market.
