O.o bang for buck of the month

even at stock, it's very close to GTX 285 anyway!

no f%cking way... maybe i should consider 4890 CF.... time to upgrade my PSU

wat driver dey use on the benchmark?

why the benchi variance is huge....

i remember the previous bench on 4890 chart, is still below 285 around 5~10%..... this is on par ...can't belive my eyes hahaha

that is 4890 true power??
far cheaper than gtx 285!!!

who the heck says 4890 is comparable to gtx 285 is seriously retarded....its only on par with gtx260 and probably beaten by the new gtx 275 anyway

Refer to Post#436

You might wanna provide source for that.

on par with GTX260+
refer 1 page back

BTW with your definition of retarded, you're retarded too.



Only on par my ****ing ass.

lol its only leading like 6-7 frames per-game and i am talking about 4890 at stock speed....and u are paying like 100 bucks more for that than the 4870? as i seen at garage sales they are selling like 900+ ....think about it

I lol'ed at the HAWX benchie at previous page...i still remember som1 mention if the 4870 1gb in Directx10.1 the FPS will smoke the GTX260+...

lol 10.1 or not doesnt matter much....if it matter so much nvidia would have already gone to dx10.1....this card is suppose to be a response to gtx 260 core 216....it did better than 260 alright but not by a huge margin....probably gtx 275 would surpass its performance again....anyway its pretty close between the 2 cards either way

Yes.GTX 275 may surpass this..but still for the same answer..not much frames
So you can pick either HD 4890 and GTX 275..
You keep overclock both of them..you will get either simillar results or just diff 1-5% only ..

very true....go with the cheapest and overclock it

Hurm.. I tried to overclock HD4890 to 1GHz but I can only reach 970/1170 and it's pretty stable since I can play GRID, COD4 and HAWX for 3 hours straight. Never tried with Crysis....... yet~

Edit: with the fan running at 100%, I can play for 3 hours straight with and the load temp is just around 63-66c
with the fan running at 90%, 3 hours straight, load temp = 72c

Simulating 4890 vs GTX275

wow....
lucky i didnt buy 260 earlier...
now 4890 really awesome...wow..

Nope, it's very loud and annoying. But, since I'm using a headphone I don't even hear the sound while playing all the games I mentioned before.

So, now I'm trying to reduce the fan 5% for every 3 hours of gaming so that I can find the best fan speed that will suit my overclocked gc. Will post it here later..
