Hell yes, if 4890 was 50$ I'd get 4 for sure.
DirectX 11 is just around the corner so you'll soon see all these innovations you're looking for. But pray for some manufacturer (*cough*, ATI) to release some sort of mainstream solution, otherwise, if we got stuck with 500+ $ chips (which we won't) for a while, we wouldn't see real DirectX 11 games for ages so all these innovations would be useless and buying a Dx11 card with crappy perf/$ would be nearly pointless.
