get those with custom coller

which brand?

3dmark was fine with Crossfire on(running at 4870 speed) when I used the beta 9.4 that is bundled with Asus EAH4890 card. The graphic corruption occurs after installing Catalyst 9.4 and restart. It's gone after I restart my computer again. Here are the result with no overclock (2.66ghz processor) at all.

Default performance setting at 1280x1024 with no crossfire (4890 speed) is P10116 and crossfire (4870 speed) is P12693. I got P9211 on my 4870.

any takers for 9.4?guess gonna jump on it later...doesnt really care nowdays on what improvement it might bring...anyway counting days only for my 4870 wonder which will come first nvidia next gen or ati next gen...

from the release notes, ati states that it has a better auto oc mechanism. normally we don't trust the auto oc, as it will give higher clock speed which are not stable. with this so called new overdrive, they claim it's better than the older one in terms of finding the right maximum oc

Hi there,
Hope to be clear enough?

I am a newbee heer and Just wanted to ask if I buy a HD 4890 can I use only CCC9.4 or do I need to go with the CD driver first then instal CCC 1by1?
Thanks

since the Catalyst 9.4 already out... it is advisable use the Cat 9.4 instead of the bundled CD driver... ...

oh my
my HD4890 perform more than 1k in 3DMark
GPU score is 8029 in performance preset

whats wrong?

your gpu score is equivalent to 4870 only wtf lol...did u try updating the drivers? did u clean your old drivers properly?

Hello ATI fans...I got a question....Would u guys recommend me to get a 4850X2 or wait for the 5xxx series to be out?

Great. I am now in the ATi bandwagon.

I am using Catalyst 9.3, but there seems to be tearing across my screen. Especially when the action is moving very fast. Anyone of you guys experiencing this?

enable the vsync and see whether its still happen.

Oh.. Because I thought, if its enabled, the frame rates will drop.

its capped at 60fps.

so if ur game running at over 60fps then for sure it'll be slower.

Thanks for the heads up bro.

Anyway, my rocketdock is also kinda laggy when using this 4670.

Previously, with me 8600GT, no prob at all.

Other that than, I LOVE my 4670.

Thank you for yhe info I am planing to buy my comp this week end finally
