since when are capacitors small tan blocks with solder points at each end????.... the C doesn't specify the item lol
every resistor I have ever penciled for a mod looks like the one behind the gpu of these cards

The only way to avoid disappointment would be to close oneself in a hut in the Arctic until April 6th...everything else is speculation.

Is there something I'm missing here? if so then please explain to me dont mock me :shakes:
Google for "surface mount ceramic capacitor".
Among the nigh-random images you'll spot these.
/me graps popcorn and keeps enjoying the circus show.

who cares about the difference between resistors and capacitors, lets just make more rumors about this awesome new, non-re-badged ATI card.
Has anyone seen this thread yet? Shows some preliminary results which are taken with a grain of salt.
I honestly don't believe they are. Here are my 4870 results using a E8400 @ 3.60Ghz
In all honesty, using a 920 should have yielded a higher result, 3D06 is CPU Bound.
3DMark06 is heavy CPU-limited in this case because it's not a 965 but a 920@stock
Stock i7 920 and...
- HD4870 @ 820/1000: 14400 (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=818978)
- HD4890 @ 850/1000: 16000 (http://www.ocheaven.com/news_view.asp?gid=6754)
Considering 3DMark06 is actually a CPU benchmark the increase is CRAAAZY.
That gpu score of 9801 in vantage is pretty darn good. For reference, a stock 4870 1gb at hardware canucks scores a 8724 so thats 12.3% increase which seems about right.

Mr.BSEL,
HD4890 also has a 13% higher core freq.
And HWC's benches are with a 3.85GHz Yorkfield.
Lol, certain someone still has tough luck with statements related to ATi.
It's incredibly hard to verify speeds based on 3dMark06 across the systems
That said, its GPU score in that puts it very close to a GTX 285, and slightly above the GTX 280

HD 4870 1GB + Cat 9.3 (same system) = 10 360 3dmarks ... (7 percent lower score)
