In marketing: CoreΔ%+MemoryΔ%=PerformanceΔ% :p:
This card is very interesting to me if not only the clock speeds have changed cuz price/performance ratio is really good if could perform around GTX 285 levels but at 199 ~ $249. However if it's only clock speeds upped I wouldn't pick it up but I'd gladly try an ATI card for a change though.
If the rest of the hardware is not bottlenecking the graphics card and if you raise all the clocks (on the graphics card) linearly for 20% then the card will perform exactly 20% faster.Quote:

What's with the Shintai bashing? He's only making a simple joke.

Anyway, currently owning a HD4850 512MB @ 800/1150 I see nothing interesting in this card, unless # of SP's gets a bump too from 800 to 960 or so. But I guess this card isn't meant for me.
:)
Don't forget he also said that there will be no L3 cache in Nehalem :DQuote:

If You think HD4850 is too slow, then You obviously bought the wrong card!Quote:

I usually game at lower resolutions (1600x900 is my prefered res) without AA.
HD4850 512MB handles it just fine.
HD4890 with 100(+)GB/s mem bandwidth & 1GB framebuffer def needs to offer more than 850MHz on the core to make me wanna buy it. 960 SP's would be nice.
:welcome:
It serves a very good purpose though. Nvidia's been the one with the slew of new product launches recently. Not to mention the additional free marketing due to the uproar over all the renaming. AMD needs something new to show off and if they can match GTX 285 performance for $300 it will be a coup all around.Quote:

280 to 285 is 20% more or less so why not?Quote:

if yes, my 4870 can already do those speeds easily. just need to get better cooling on it
hmmm we can always buy Sapphire Toxic 4870 780/1000 185$ on Newegg.
My HIS 4850 was a reference cooler and still ran 5-6C hotter memory.Quote:

That's the 4870 being used now that I pulled the screenshots from. Gaming load is 55C at 45% fan which is inaudible over my case fans. ATI's reference cooler unfortunately is just not that great -- it could be, but it doesn't deliver.
How did you measured the memory temperature?
I can't, and i don't want to believe that the only thing amd thought for the past 9 months (since the release of 4800series) was 100mhz core and 75mhz memory boost.
