AMD To Launch Radeon HD4890 "RV790" In April

[ToTTenTranz]

Yep @ Tottentranz (but shame on you for being like a 5-year-old tattletale :P), and a mere clock increase hardly makes sense to me.

Here's an excellent article on the whole RV790 idea (I wonder if it's already been mentioned here in the forums.. maybe you're an expert on that LOL) :

Yes, it has :P . Someone even made a thread about that article, but was then merged in this thread. It should be 2 or 3 pages behind.

I don't think the RV790 is just another speed-bump either, but mainly because we still have to wait some time for the R8xx. 20% more performance just doesn't feel "enough" for a chip that's supposed to last another 6 months or so, if it's not even shrinked.

ATI did it before, though. With the 9800 Pro -> 9800XT.
