AMD To Launch Radeon HD4890 "RV790" In April

[pest]

3DMark06 is heavy CPU-limited in this case because it's not a 965 but a 920@stock

[largon]

Stock i7 920 and...
- HD4870 @ 820/1000: 14400 (http://www.hwbot.org/result.do?resultId=818978)
- HD4890 @ 850/1000: 16000 (http://www.ocheaven.com/news_view.asp?gid=6754)

Considering 3DMark06 is actually a CPU benchmark the increase is CRAAAZY.

thanks for the research sir. This is gonna be a monster card - voltmods should take it well over 1ghz core

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.

Mr.BSEL,
HD4890 also has a 13% higher core freq.
And HWC's benches are with a 3.85GHz Yorkfield.

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


By the way:

Only fools had expected anything else.

This is so going to be my sig!

[largon]

Lol, certain someone still has tough luck with statements related to ATi.

[zerazax]

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.

HD 4870 1GB + Cat 9.3 (same system) = 10 360 3dmarks ... (7 percent lower score)

[OBR]

LoL @ OBR... Nice try.
No text explaining?

i dont know anything, have only screen ...

[LordEC911]

i dont know anything, have only screen ...

Ahhh... I see.
Nnice edit though.

That should be about right, considering this:

What did you do....copy paste several screens from the web and put it all together.

[FlanK3r]

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

[Sampsa]

try extreme preset.

[Lightman]

try extreme preset.

You know something, aren't you

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!

[HKPolice]

since when are capacitors small tan blocks with solder points at each end????.... the C doesn't specify the item lol

every resistor I have ever penciled for a mod looks like the one behind the gpu of these cards

[OBR]

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 ...

[Glow9]

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?

[OBR]

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

[spursindonesia]

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

[LowRun]

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

[OBR]

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!

[Cranox]

Tnx for the benches OBR !
I know now what my next card is.
