That sword is awesome and my His HIGHTECH 3870 on the cd came with some wall paper images with that sword. Very slick.
Look, let's be honest here. :laugh:
Gotta admit, though, the 4890 was a pretty good card, tweak and overclock that it was.
But, hey -- at least it was an improved chip (tweak, whatever you want to call it). At least they didn't just overclock it and call it a 4890 -- the chip that's in the 4890 is a better chip than the one in the 4870 (not that it was bad, either).
lol at that vid totally hilarious.
I await the benches on this. This is planned to be my next upgrade and I've been patiently biding my time with my poor little 9600gt. still undecided on the cpu/mobo front but that's nether here nor there at this point.
hopefully this won't be too plagued by lack of driver support and poor early driver performance (sigh what am I saying it is ati lol)
Zing! :D
