"The only thing necessary for lost data to prevail, is for good men to share nothing."
Alucard, Internet Bible 03:20:1997
My understanding is there's no point getting an uber video card if the CPU, mobo and ram can't handle it.
Also aim for a card that matches what you want to do. As in, don't get a card designed for 4k if you're only going to use up to 720p.
My sister also has a HD6850 (which was my old card before I upgraded to a GTX960), though it's being completely limited by her CPU (which is just an old Core 2 Duo), so she only gets like 3k~4k range in the tier 6 benchmark at 1440x900.
The benchmark seems to be more CPU dependent than GPU dependent, but still an HD6850 is pretty outdated.
It'd be enough for lower resolutions, 720p~900p range, but for 1080p I don't think I would expect much (maybe something like 3k range? no idea).
The creator of the other topic about the benchmark scores got a score of 4224 at 1920x1200 with an HD5870 and a Core i7 920 (according to SEGA though, 2k~5k range is still considered an acceptable score), no idea how much of a limiting factor the CPU could be in that case (an i7 920 was pretty good when it was released, but current CPUs are considerably better), but, a HD5870 is more powerful than a HD6850...
May as well ask, what's your current CPU and what score do you currently get?

I've been playing the beta on ps4 and even that doesn't handle it too well. There are obvious frame drops in even just solo forest, especially when it rains.
Has anyone run the test with a GTX680 btw? I would like to not have to upgrade GPU since this is the only game I play.

i get 3.5k at 1440 x 510 (equal to 720p) with hd4770 using A6-3500 processor. they're ancient!
tier 6, with 2x supersample, and sweetfx running
though i need to set shadow at 1 (but tier 6's AO? still working so its still nice)
i believe FQS is bottleneck for some people, i cant reach 100% GPU usage when fqs set to 1, have to set it at 2 or 3 at radeonpro
for radeon users try to set your FQS higher, i heard crimson driver sets the FQS into 1 by default
