4890 and gtx275 also at the same price point, gtx275 more worth it, why dont consider nvidia cards?
let's not add more options unless TS request. smile.gif

hmm i think u should take two 4770 and cf it.

and save the balance for next upgrade..

or just grab tat saphire 4870 1gb


value for $$$ indeed, the CF HD4770 but the HD4890 does has its merits.

it's still faster here and there, less hassle and overall lesser heat generated.

and don't have to worry about CF issue cos the HD4770 performance ultimlately depends on whether the application supports CF well.

Got more info from user reviews on Newegg. Apparently the 4890 (stock cooler) is only loud when manually setting the speed above 50%.
Is this true, 4890 users?


this is true for the most part. smile.gif

i have a HD4890 with me and i didn't notice the fan noise.

performance wise I'm inclined to say I'd go for HD4890 for the sake of less hassle despite having a little more cost there.
