so fast 5000 series?? wen will the hd4770 or hd4750 come out?
really headache wanna get 4830 during pc fair or wait for 4770 la..

from wat i can tell...........no different visually.............

Planning to upgrade my GC
is it worth it to change from 4850 to 4890?
My psu is gygabyte true power 550w, cn support 4890?

argh, i still confusing which 1 to buy, well i want setup CFX with biostar IP45 but now which GC should i take?
HD4850
HD4870
HD3870
cause i see, the price for HD3870 is much cheaper then 4850 but the core is better, anyone explain this for me?
well i might judge which 1 i need to buy in term of cash and quality by the way..
so any recommendation is welcome

thanks for all the reply.. can i know the 3rd party GIGABYTE, ASUS etc. what the difference then if the card still same, like you see, sapphire 4850 is cheaper then gigabyte and asus
what the price for 485/7/90 nowdays?

asus pricing is roughly rm100 to 200 more expensive than other brands. So instead of going for asus, i went for sapphire, just as good.

ATI Partners Will Try Out A Radeon HD 4890 X2

AMD ever said that they had no immediate plans for Radeon HD 4890 X2, but the guys at Brightside claims the ATI partner can and will make a Radeon HD 4890 X2 with entitle from AMD Graphics Products Group. In a Youtube interview for PC Games Hardware, Sasa Marinkovic, Product Manager for Consumer platforms also confirmed the X2 part.

If AMD Radeon HD 4890 X2 plan is true, then the power consumption would be a big problem. The maximum power consumption would reach about 380W and the card should be addressed with two 8-pin connectors. Rumors indicate there is one ATI partner planning such a design and wants to do dual-1GHz GPU clock paired up with 2GB and 4GB of GDDR5 memory.

Radeon HD 4870 X2 is sold at $549 according to previous information, and Radeon HD 4890 X2 should be priced higher. But the consumers may prefer to build CrossFire with two Radeon HD 4890 with less than $500. Do you think users will buy an expensive Radeon HD 4890 X2 with such huge power consumption? Your comments are always welcome and highly appreciated.

at least 4890x2 solution will be better than 4890 CF

+1

i hope the price not over 2k 

i think the initial pricing might be around 2k. Just look at the pricing of the 4870X2. after so many months in the market, its still hovering between 1700-2k and gt295 is roughly at 1900-2100 range (correct me if im wrong).

If you buy 2 4890 for CF, its still going to cost about 2k. For highend cards like the X2 and 295, i dont think the pricing is going to be reduced by much. If 4890x2 ever appear in the market, the pricing might not be below 2k because it will crash with the pricing for 4870X2 unless they stop the production of 4870X2 or decrease the pricing of the entire range of hd4000 series of card.

Well, if you are talking about 4890 has 20% more performance than the 4870 (correct me if im wrong), then it is not necessary to gain 40% performance if in CF mode. and those numbers are very subjective.

And spending 2k alone is bad enough but considering the investment in other hardware upgrades for people who have not done so. ( perhaps 1k Watt PSU, bigger casing, better cooling solutions- extra fans, etc). 600-800Watt PSU just might not be that sufficient if there are xtra hdds, a lot of fans, writers, etc.

And buying a card that cost rm2k is equivalent to buying an entire entry level PC and thats not including other components which must be present to ensure that the card is running smoothly.

Asus High-End HD4890 custom cooler and pcb :



the interesting thing about this 4890 is the capacitor, which is compressed into one single component (the Fujitsu chip)

that is 4750 on the review

ah, then it is 4750 with GDDR5 lol

Erm, Pikachu, the one reviewed is gddr5 lah... And the name(4750) was not the official name, it was given by the reviewers. I believe it is the 4770 being sold by Zhen^wei.

Hi All. Quick question: Does the Asus EAH4890 includes leather mouse pad? I bought mine and there's no mouse pad included.
