At 1Ghz, the HD4890 seems to have almost the same performance as a HD4850X2.
If every card reaches 1Ghz, I'll get one for sure. I wonder how it'll behave with an Accelero S1 + 2*120mm fans. AFAIK, there's no better GPU air-cooling solution to date.

how do you compare this new card to GTX 285 ?
Are the mounting holes around the gpu the same as the HD2900XT ? Coz i got a D-Tek FuZion GFX Block.
I guess an oced 4890 should be pretty close to GTX285, however no one can tell yetQuote:

if it can overclock so high, then i hope we see OC versions sold at 950mhz for enthuzisnt
maybe should behave in the same way as NvidiaQuote:

this is interesting... Because AMD is shipping a card that may easily clock 150mhz higher than stock, yet they are not pricing it accordingly in an effort to be ultra competetive. the gtx275 is gonna have to be a 285in reality since its all but confirmed that this card OCed to 1000mhz beats a gtx 280 @ high res.
Radeon HD 4890 will be launched before 6.4! ! !
in few days!
I think you mean after ;)Quote:

Stock is already in UK and quantities are good, very good according to Gibbo from NovaTech. Also OCuk hints cards are in stock, just waiting for NDA lift.

ATI could be trying to one up the launch on Nvidia as it really is unexpected, but there is truth to OBR's statements seeing as Novatech is receiving a batch of 100 cards very soon and usually, when the cards hit the shelves, the numbers hit the web :)
But I'd still wait for official launch, whenever the heck it is now.

I am still skeptical of these supposed tweaks to the core.:rolleyes:
So you're essentially buying a 4870 with better power consumption. Wow I hate refreshes.
Who said that? Shintai?Quote:

Oh and.. first post? :clap:
Ok, voltage changes within CCC has my attention :eek:Quote:

These in CF with LN2 and we might see some serious power here
was 1ghz the max only cause thats the cap in CCC? what could be done using a third party OC tool?
this might be enough of a card to get me to upgrade, but i have to see production reviews first
