for stock hd4890
theres a high chance u can flash the 4890 bios onto the hd4870
provided they are still using the same pwm.
ATI Radeon HD 4890 RV790 Launches April 6, ETA: first-second week of APRIL.

the curent sapphire promo is because amd is offering a rebate on amd/ati products at retailer level
so instead of earning from the product.. price vs cost.. all are aiming for the rebate.. but u need high volume.. thats y its cheap.. after that the price will go up as usual for initial launch products. |

QUOTE(gto87 @ Apr 2 2009, 09:34 AM) Bro cstkl, since you are an expert in this field, just wanna ask how far you overclocked it? fan set maxoverclock 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.. |

Added on April 2, 2009, 4:07 pmalso gtx285 ftw (stock fan speed) sli tony hawx 1920x1200 8xAA 8x AF is 94fps average, max 300. hd4890 oc 900/1000 (stock fan speed) crossfire is at 71fps this was my initial test today .. both running single raptor x.. hdd tried to make it clean installation for the crossfire setup. the nvidia drivers was causing some issue.

QUOTE(Jcsy @ Apr 2 2009, 04:20 PM) on post #436 by X.E.D, seems that in game testing, the 4890 OC'ed can really perform in most games against the GTX 275 or 285 even thats really funnydun mention GTX285 OC'ed, its price is unreasonable =.= ure comparing a 1k card with a 1.3k card which part is unreasonable?? prices above 1.3k is usually game bundle, extra warranty etc. and u dont mind a vacuum hoover sound at 1ghz when it cant run at stock fan setting compared to a 1.3k card with stock fan setting overclock.. anyways i have both cards on sli crossfire. waiting for new drivers before i post results but i can tell u now the hd4890 is a bit buggy and is slower than my gtx285 flashed to ftw bios. if 1ghz is equivalent to a gtx285 a gtx285 ftw is around 11 percent faster would means a hd4890 has to be clocked to 1.1ghz. anybody can tell u the ftw speeds are easy to reach This post has been edited by cstkl1: Apr 2 2009, 04:35 PM |

QUOTE(X.E.D @ Apr 2 2009, 06:15 PM) My arse. ~1350 for a cheapo 285, 14XX for something "proper". right such a fanboyLooks like you have an agenda against certain companies so why should we trust whatever you say. More so in semi intelligible English. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « Added on April 2, 2009, 7:49 pm QUOTE(X.E.D @ Apr 2 2009, 07:34 PM) I meant proper as his "game bundles, fancy packaging, warranty" as if SEA region cards have "better" warranties at all. Even at RM1350 the 4890 is RM400 cheaper, and that's a lot of money that you can spend on the card/elsewhere. They're still selling cheapo 285s at 1450+ here (Melaka) so I could raise more hell actually. ive already said 900 is ok on stock fan indirectly ..anything above on crossfire testing both dvi is not possible stock fan[H] and FiringSquad said they did not need to change fan to 100% to OC to 900+. And the 4890 uses much less wattage than the 275, which draws power almost like an 285.  If you want better idle power, just flash the BIOS with lower GDDR5 clocks and voltage. From observation however, looks like GT200 heats up much faster (uses more power) once you touch core and shader clocks. but hey keep reading on and posting screenshots and links its more like ure convincing ureself only current driver for the hd4890 on crossfire is buggy theres a lot u can tell about ati since fan boys dont even want to admit overclocking ati cards especially hd4000 depends also whether ure using both dvi's or not aka dual screen or 30 inch monster.

well just saw the zotac gtx275 amp version posted
the clocks are exactly the same other than than the shader compared to the gtx285amp but its higher than the stock gtx285 for core and mem, while shader is the same. this is really interesting hope the gtx275 doesnt have a lower core/shader ratio. if not that heck its going to clock as good and perform as well . only limitation is the mem amount for high res. compared to gtx285. looks like gtx285 is going to be eol folks.

Of course, some ppl prefer more fps though. Oh, anandtech got their reviews up http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3539 . i was just telling my view on my hardware config. itching to try the gtx 275 now..kekek This post has been edited by cstkl1: Apr 2 2009, 08:16 PM |

spoke to one of the admin on msn.
ssd was done awhile back theres a problem with the controller they were using. the day i am loyal to a brand/hardware is the day i die dude.. whatever is the best i use. period. well 900/1000 no issue. on both dvi's single dvi 950/1100 no issue. but theres artifacts when when i use both dvi's. this is common for ati. left the ati card back into the box until better drivers comes out cannot play " wanted ".. always hangs tony hawx after an hour or so the driver will fail and reset during cinematic tried using vsync and performance was poor. but will sell off my gtx280's now. i always like having one ati rig and one nvidia rig. |
