Short answer is YES because as I have not come across much compain on the 6850.
These are mainly equipped with 2DVI , 1DP and 1HDMI port.
Certain model might have 2DVI, 1HDMI and 2MiniDisplay (Eyefinitity) port. (Example Sapphire 6850 Toxic)

Sapphire has worked well for me. I have 5870 and 6870 Vapor Xs.
