the chip information themselves are of course stored in database and are read through device id

How is it suppose to know the size of the interface?

What we know so far:

1- Same PCB (or at least very similar) as HD4870;
2- 2*6 pin connector;
3- 240Mhz (!!!) idle speed (I guess the rumours about the PowerPlay revision were true)
4- Same cooler
5- ATI OC Utility shows a max overclock of 1Ghz;
6- It's called 4890 and not 49xx.

Performance figures and design changes are only guesses right now.

And here's the first boxart:

I found it in Fudzilla. I don't know where they got it, though.

I'm doing it... 3 x voltmodded watercooled 4890's @ 1100mhz core clock here I come :D these things are gonna be BEASTs

Not the same cooler, it is an updated cooler.
Suppose to be a 3 heatpipe HS vs the 2 heatpipe heatsink of 4870.

From what I could see, the idle temp was 59°C at 24% fan speed. What's the 4870 idle temp at that fan speed anyone? Should be an indicator of how much better the powerplay is working.

I can see 16 ramdacs on this 4890 which means 4870 FC is a nogo....

I am utterly horrified to see the memory is still not affected by Powerplay!
It's just useless to slow down the GPU speed as memory is the idle powerhog on these cards.

I don't think you realise "RAMDAC" has absolutely nothing to do with the memory you see on a video card.
And, there's only 8 GDDR5 chips on those cards...

ugh yes sorry, It just seems more distinguished in that pic than the 4870... it is the same.

that said I have just compared and the mem/gpu area is the same. but the PWM area is vastly different.

Looks like the first rumours were true...we'll see the 850 and 950 clock versions at $199 and $299.

I'm still waiting for the ace in the hole but have a feeling ATI may have us wait a tad longer to show that.

not in april for sure, june/july at the earliest IMO.

the 4890x2 when it comes will not be a friend of the average user... it will be expensive and it will be the 295 killer for benches alone.

ATI Radeon HD4890 1GB GDDR5

Quote:

Here's something fresh from Asia, with love. Popular Chinese site Coolaler is once more first to show pics from an yet unreleased product - the next generation ATI Radeon HD4890 video card. The card below is equipped with single RV790 GPU clocked at 850 MHz and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 3900 MHz. It has full DirectX 10.1 support and is CrossFireX ready. Apart from that, all other distinctive features can be seen from the pictures. The Radeon HD4890 is set to be released after April 6th of this year.

oh no, so sad
if so what to choose for watercooling - wait for july or buy two 4970 using two waterblocks?

Thanks for the reply Sniipe, you bet the 4890x2 will be a monster just judging by the 4890x1 power requirements.

I will keep my old faithful 4850 and wait till July then. :up:

Will there be two different versions of 4890x2?

AS in OC and Vanilla just like with 4890.

4890x2 +4890 is my goal for tri fire ( i dont wanna pay extra money for a nf200 chip so i can get x16 x16 x16 lanes)

the looked priced very nicely

All depends on whether you wanna go xtreme OCs without the need for xtreme kewling.

If 1Ghz with adequate water is doable, it's really a nice achievement. I can see quite some people going for it here. :D

I hope not as that will most likely mean more waiting still for the OC version.

zerazax,
Errr...
You talking about that square'ish area of tiny SMD caps? They are so not related to the arrangement of the ALUs.
They are vDD/ground pads. The only thing it might mean, is the chip would consume less current as there's fewer power pads on the chip carrier.

Thanks largon, that makes a bit more sense but either way, they changed the GPU in one way or another

As for HKPolice, you could've posted like largon and reasoned it, but instead :rolleyes:

That looks like the same score as a vanilla HD4870..
I sure hope that's not a real score, or that it was taken with a weak setup.

i7 at 2.66. 3D06's SM 2.0 and 3.0 are much more sensitive to single threaded performance (especially clockspeed) IIRC.

4890 center resistors: 4x11

4870 center resistors: 6x12

that said the entire resistor arrangement outside the center of the GPU area is %100 different between the 4870 and 4890. I find it hard to believe all that change is for power consumption alone....

Is it possible they are hiding 40nm from us?
03-18-2009, 06:38 AM
SNiiPE_DoGG

well purely area wise (resistors behind the gpu) there is a really significant size difference...

the 4890 is 44 units and the 4870 is 72units

.72(ratio 40:55nm) --> .61(ratio 4890:4870)

Considering the backside of a HD4850 looks nothing like HD4870's it is safe to declare those CAPACITORS and their oh so suspicious alignment, shady layout and undeably far-fetched relation to process size mean absolutely nothing.

Faster clock to clock than the RV770

We’ve heard that ATI's secret weapon with RV790 is not actually the higher clock speed, but rather improved shader efficiency, which enables it to do things a bit faster than a RV770.

This would mean that the RV790, Radeon HD 4890 card should end up faster compared at the same clock and specification to HD 4870 card.

We are not sure what ATI did to its shaders, but this is the reason why RV790 chips are actually differ from the RV770, and that the pin count is not the same. The release day should be April 6th.

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.

This review is using a C2Q @ 3.85Ghz.
I'm pretty sure the i7@2.66 is slower.

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

Which could mean that nVidia wont release a GTX275 but give the GTX285 a pricedrop. Several sources have said that the GTX275 release depends on RV790 performance.

That should be about right, considering this:

OBR:its really 4890 or only simulation HD4870 OC?(i read some about 13% up in 3dmark )

You know something, aren't you :p:

Is your NDA prohibiting you from disclosing how this card clocks? Lets say a range of clocks like 1000-1300MHz?
RV670 build on 55GT process could do 1300MHz+ with proper cooling, I wonder how far this one will go!

Its early sample of HD4890 (one month old), with first PCB (9450 instead 9460), this card has 6+8 PSU pins, retail has 6+6 ... THIS IS REAL HD4890, ... but drivers arrivedy yestarday.

next step ...

18594 for the engineering sample then?
Out of curiosity with an i7 920 what does a 4870x2 and a GTX 285 score on average to compare?

i will test GTX 260 + 280 today against, on the same machine

Now OBR, good posts to reclaim "some" lost cred you've had in this forum, keep it coming sir. :)

I will wait for results from someone who knows how to use hardware.

1. Dont be envious LowERun, that i have everything HOT HW and you nothing ...

2. Its time for reality for ATi Dreamers ...

Welcome AMDus Rebrandus, ONE year of waiting for Oced HD4870! Great success (okay, tested with no official and oddity drivers - results are not final)!
Performance is really between GTX 260 (216) and GTX 280 - ideal for GTX 275!

PS. Not tested by me, but friend!

Tnx for the benches OBR !

By "HOT HW" you mean your HD4870 is hot because you overclocked it? :shrug:

And the masses see 3dmark first :shakes: 1280 x 1024 is definitely the measure of how good a GPU is !!!!!! NOT

that extreme preset result is VERY promising though....

With all the Radeon bashing OBR is doing I would take those results with a grain of salt. :ROTF:
1. 1280x1024 is simply to low
2. Rumors are surfacing of a GTX 275 to compete with the 4890
3. Vantage incorporates the use of physx in the cpu benchmarks which does effect the overall score

1- Your position as reviewer should be impartial.
2- You are a Nv fanboy.
3- Looks like tests where from friend and without drivers.
4- AMDus Rebrandus? You need some reality check. Cut the crap and go buy one 8800GTS 512Mb or 9800GTX or 9800GTX+ or GTS250 in it's four consecutive rebranding.

Lay off the fanboy-calling m8. It only makes things worse.

@ OBR, we don't need posts like that from you either.

I will say what I have been saying for weeks now.

WAIT FOR APRIL 6TH.

Dude trust me, there's nothing you've ever done here on XS that would make me envious :slapass:

i see no sign of enabled PhysX here. The CPU-Score would be much higher :shrug:

Darn, after i thought he has somehow got some sanity, OBR proved me wrong yet again with another trolling, attention seeking post of his, what a shame.
