wow..100% fan speed..
at 50% is already loud for me
anyway, such a good load temp u got.
not reaching 80c.

Bought 1 yesterday. Proud owner of it. Havent plug in to the PC yet.
Got as well a 850 single rail PSU. Want to CF this card later on.

dude
toms uses only this games
assasin creed
cod 4
crysis
ut3

so game dependent

anyways got two cards and testing now..
driver still immature and the cards are hotter and slower than my gtx285
waiting for new driver but so far on my gaming requirement which is very high it is currently slow
from what i see no diff than a gtx260 oc which i tested previously.

Bro cstkl, since you are an expert in this field, just wanna ask how far you overclocked it?

cant wait bro cstkl give some reviews on it...if its true that 4890 is no different the gtx260+ oc dats good news to know hehe.

Guys, i wanted to know how much PSU power i needed to CF a 4870X2 and a 4870?

fan set max
overclock via cc atm.

riva tuner is buggy with vista 64.

the reason i was curious with the hd4890 is actually the burst speed on mem

if u guys actually had hd4000 series.. u would know that overclocking the core doesnt give that much of a boost compared to mem.

but for some reason the hd4890 does..

for 4870X2 need at least 750watt psu....for single 4870 550watt true power cukup2 mkn

haya... i see... huhu

My PSU only 650W. haa i guest its enough for 4870 CF la.

Thanks

Me also having the same problem with Riva tuner but I'm using Vista 32. So end up using CC to OC it.

Right now I'm trying to push it to 970/1180 and testing its stability. Still trying. Maybe will post the result after this.

Curious to know your overclocking result and your review about this card's performance.

jus pushed the core to 900
have increment of score of 500 +/-

to people who bought the 4890, wat driver did dey include in the package? 9.3?

NDA lifted as of 12 am GMT -8.

Late 1 hour, I got classes just now lol. Bad day, got bad results . Not exams yet though. Haiz uni life is a bit tough.. took me 3 months to adjust(and with it I got bad results also, haha). Enough of me,

here are the reviews!

http://enthusiast.hardocp.com/article.html...W50aHVzaWFzdA==
HardOCP also includes GTX275.
Too bad anandtech hasn't have their reviews out yet.

And for comparisons with GTX275....

Anyone has any idea WHY guru3d changed their colour schemes? It's so ugly. Damn it give me a rainbow please.

finally, plenty of good reviews that we can refer to

Juz read the review....Wat a hype saying tat 4890 is on par with GTX285...even GTX275 can smoke the HD4890(based on Guru3d.com Game Review)....

btw,wat can i said both 4890 and GTX275 is totally on par..

Oh btw, hardocp's review also contains GTX275 comparison. I haven't read it when I posted the sites.

i saw the gtx 275 price. higher than hd4890. if hd4890 below RM1k. stil worth to buy actualy.

thxs for the reviews links bro, save alot of time

FiringSquad review shows a much better case for the 4890.
http://firingsquad.com/hardware/ati_radeon...eforce_gtx_275/

Besides 2 isolated cases (CoD4 driver issues I think, and STALKER Clear Sky where 10.1 actually uses more processing so it's slower), the 4890 is mostly on par with the 280, and in some games beats the 285.


Meh I don't think in any case the RM300 extra for the 285 is worth it. This card sells at 950 in Thundermatch, and the OCing to 1Ghz (at least 900-950) deal is sweet enough to justify the RM100+ extra on top of the 4870 1GB.


So the 4890 IMHO is a great deal if you're looking for a GTX 285-ish card that will handle the majority of games now and upcoming at a HD resolution. For the RM300 (more like 400 actually) saved from the 285, keep it for a water cooling system so you get 1.1-1.2Ghz (need to use softmod volts I think).
