what driver are u using?
try downloading catalyst 9.4 and to use rivatuner 2.24 for 4890 u have to install a new rivatuner config file..

Rivatuner 2.24 updated config file

and then extract the new config file and then overwrite the old..
that's all, and if u want to vmod the card by using rivatuner, u have to read the vr-zone 4890 oc guide which the link i had posted earlier

Maybe next time I'll do it.

I'm using the catalyst 9.4 CCC and already installed the 2.24 version of the Rivatuner. I clicked the link you post before but it directs me to www.guru3d.com. Have anybody tried the link ben_panced posted before?

right click teh link and then save as the file lor

Tried that and after I finish DLing, I tried to extract it but failed. It said "the archive is either in unknown format or damaged". I tried again and again and still endup getting the same msg.

incomplete download? nowadays shitmax is slower and slower, the dl'ing files sometimes cannot be completed

The VRM takes up to 150C. But at 130C you already know that thermal dissipation is struggling so temps will go up very fast.

For such components I wouldn't stress it too much, as the 4890 seen through thermal imaging is actually a very cool card, 90 something Celsius for the hottest VRMs and everything else way below (275's analog regs get to 110 something on stock, something that is actually scary)

130c is the max temp at that time, it'll not go up further, but yeah, amd should do a better design for their hsf

come to think to it.....why ati hd4890 much more cheaper then hd4870?

Could it be possible that the link is broken cause I tried DLing from my friends comp and still end up getting the same result. Do anybody have the Configuration file with them? PM me. Thanks~

Actually HD 4870 is cheaper. The ones you saw probably has better heatsinks.

I'm tempted to pick up one at PC Fair, but I'll submit to the TechPowerUp! design contest first.

One design a week to devastate the current (sucky) ones

bro mind to show us your design?

running 4890 on cat 9.4 in win7



running crossfireX 4890 + 4870x2 in win7 with cat 9.4

graphics artifacts on first n second test with vantage.. damnnn..

not much changes with 3dmark06, no artifacts with this test

freaking noisy.. esp the X2 and also its a room heater...

Added on April 15, 2009, 12:00 amBtw, is there any aftermarket coolers that available for HD4890?

any hsf that can fit 4870 can fit 4890

i thought the memory chips are positioned in a different place?

Which 3D Benchmark test do you guys use.

Also, which overclocking tool would be good to OC 4890.

I am using the Catalyst Control Centre which was provided by the card.

good 3D benchmark test is..the game itself xD

3dmark vantage, games w/ integrated benchmark tools..


oc tools..CCC also good, but go with riva tuner/ bios flash if you want to do some voltage tweak

yup voltmodding by using rivatuner is very easy and effortless as it needs only a few steps such as installing a new config file for riva tuner and installing the vt1165 plugin
