Big image of my 4870 that I took on my phone camera.
There already has been a Vantage score. Performance, GPU score 9801.
3DM06:
SM2.0: 6155
SM3.0: 7521
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.
No, if people read that far they'll be rewarded, if they can't be bothered then that's just life.
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?
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.
You were not supposed to see this.
those are resistors.... dont take things so seriously, weve got nothing else to work with so I'm just trying to posit possible differences
Since when have they started to mark resistors with a "C", instead of a "R" on the silkscreen?

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.
since when are capacitors small tan blocks with solder points at each end????.... the C doesn't specify the item lolSince when have they started to mark resistors with a "C", instead of a "R" on the silkscreen?
every resistor I have ever penciled for a mod looks like the one behind the gpu of these cards
*facepalm*
O RLY?
Are you sure you have actually been pencilling resistors?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
Google for "surface mount ceramic capacitor".
Among the nigh-random images you'll spot these.

you could have said that in your first post instead of making an ass of yourself... any reasonable person can see where the confusion is --- they look the same

who cares about the difference between resistors and capacitors, lets just make more rumors about this awesome new, non-re-badged ATI card.
We actually don't know that yet.
Has anyone seen this thread yet? Shows some preliminary results which are taken with a grain of salt.

I hope those numbers aren't true.
A 4870 1GB with a Core i7 965 scores 16.3k in 06 X_X

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.
