is 4890 hotter than 4870?

the HD4890 really made me missed my HD2900XT, it's hotter, it's "hotter", it's heavier... what i mean hot is... it's HOT

for temperature wise... not much difference compared to HD4870... used to be @51°C (idle), 60°C (load), but on this HD4890 i got temperature reading 56°C on idle whilst on load is 67°C... the fan speed wise, my favourite speed... 65%

Well... I'm not(will be buying in 4890.. countdown 12 days XD). Sadly, not all games support it. I don't know why developers don't. Dx10.1 increases performance not disable anything like PhysX does .

well maybe for HAWX owners, they will be delighted

For normal users that do not tweak voltages, a cost-down version of the 4890 is coming.


10-20USD cheaper (260+ territory?), but probably won't fly so high on water cooling. No digital power regulation (like GTX 275) so you're back to board mods.

btw any1 noe whr to dl win vista's sp1?

and by the way, you are OT

y don't you try windows update or microsoft.com or even the excellent software thread right in LYN

top stupid spammer, again
just now in buy thread, now here.

Is Ati 4890 available in Lowyat Plaza at the moment? Would love to hook this thingie into my friend's rig soon

Now that's what I've been waiting for a long time. Can't wait to download it tomorrow.

Well, I'm one of them.
Will try it later.

EDIT: AFAIK,tweaking voltage will not covered in the warranty if the card died during the process right? I don't know why my friend kept saying that it's covered. Do anybody have experience or any info about this stuff. Thanks~

guys, pls tell me the XFX version of 4890 coz mine is the one wit d big X box..in overclockersclub.net they said the XXX version is d 1 wit the big X box

managed to hit 1GHz on core clock without having to tweak the VGPU, but that's not even tested yet...

how to reach 1ghz core clock??..
mind share??..

mine no voltage change

Voltage tweak is warrrantied by Asus. Don't think sapphire and other brand does that
