RV790 has a new name?
Rumor: RV770 Refresh is Radeon HD 4900
Source: GPUCafeQuote:
Atleast according to the latest round of emails sent out today. The branding could however change as there is still quite some time for the launch, which as we told you earlier is slated for the 8th of next month.
The details of the ASIC are listed as 800 stream procesors combined with upto 200MHz core clock increase over the Radeon HD 4870. Interestingly the memory specification was moderately bumped by 50MHz only. AMD has been very successful with all the smoke and mirrors during the RV770 launch, we wouldnt be surprised if it was the case again.
950 makes more sense than 850 for sure, but they still havent sold me on the idea this is going to be 800sps and 32 tmus (rv770)
Hmmm....HD 4970, 4870 or 4890, which one is it? :ROTF:Quote:

RV770 was one of the most successful products for AMD (ATI GPG) in the last 3 years. The introduction of this ASIC brought unprecedented gaming performance into affordable price levels. No wonder everybody is looking forward to it's refresh, including Nvidia. The slip comes from PCI-SIG (PCI Special Interest Group) website. Among the list of new ASICs AMD has submitted for PCI-Express certification includes RV790, M97 (Mobility RV740), FirePro 3D V8700 & FirePro 3D V7750 (RV740 based FirePro).

Of late, AMD began keeping tight wraps on in its in-development ASICs. RV670 was passed off as the RV570 successor but under the hood was a "full" R600 shrink and not a three-quarter R600. The next fudge was that the RV770 was a 480 stream processor ASIC and we all know how that turned out. We'll have to wait and see if RV790 also follows in the same vein or not. As of now the launch is slated for the 8th of April along with the RV740, we'll let you know if there is any changes or updates.
UPDATE:

A few more details; new board design and a completely new cooling solution. We can confirm that it is new ASIC and not a speed binned product.
I feel like we are all stumbling in a maze of sandbags with AMD logos all over them.
Rv790 in HD4890 will be 850mhz ,, for HD49XX it is :confused:Quote:

cant find, are they planning update x2 also or only single gpu card?
2 rv790 will be noticable faster than 4870x2 i guess
Sapphire Radeon HD4890 appears in online stores

The RV790 is coming and, as impressive or unimpressive as it may be in terms of performance it's still a GPU a lot of people are interested in finally seeing in stores, review, or in their PCs. With its release date (early April) closing in fast, the RV790-powered Radeon HD 4890 (or HD 4900) has now already been listed by a couple of online stores and according to one of them, it will feature 1GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 3900 MHz (3600 MHz for the HD 4870) and a GPU set to 850 MHz.
Coming with a dual-slot cooler, the Sapphire Radeon HD4890 can be found at Netherlands-based Salland at just under 250 Euro and at PB Technologies in New Zealand for about $365 / 280 Euro. The prices are a bit high but they'll likely go down in time for the official release.

boring then :/ mines oc'd to 845 + 4000......... :(
hope theres more to it.
That means jack.. a portuguese store has had a "HD4890" in their website for 3 weeks now.
That could very well be just a fabrication from the store, based on rumours around the web.
Many stores do that to get more hits and pre-orders.
Didn't Salland list HD5870X2 a few months back?Quote:

edit:
Oh yes they did...
ATi/AMD has really gotten the smoke and mirrors down pat when it comes to their higher end chips eh?
Conflicting rumors seem to be EVERYWHERE! :ROTF:
smoke, mirrors and a GODDAMN F***IN PRISM
:ROTF:
Even if the 4890 turns out a dud, this is very amazing, so close to launch and noone has any certain information
yes, a year ago then 4870 was launched there was a lot of info about it
today it's all covered with dark
AMD really fooled everyone with the RV770 specs.Quote:

8 pin my arse.

Idle Clockspeed: 240Mhz.
Interesting. GPU-Z doesn't show much, sadly.Quote:

so its basically an overclocked hd4870 with better idle consumption?
looks ok, but not at a 250€ price point (more like 200€); should beat gtx260 216sp
interesting, that gpu-z cant read out memory bandwidth and size correctly...
(and someone is being pretty informative.... but as long as its a mass production card he shouldnt get caught^^)
GPU-z is nothing more than a datatbase, for the most part, only a few things are actually collected from the hardware/software.Quote:

but shouldnt it at least read out the bandwidth correctly, the card seems very similar to hd4870
the chip information themselves are of course stored in database and are read through device id
