ASUS Launches EAH4890 Series with Voltage Tweak for 15% Performance Upgrades
ASUS, world-leading producer of top quality graphic solutions, has today introduced the ASUS EAH4890 Series-the world's first graphics cards to utilize Voltage Tweak technology. With this innovation, users will be able to boost GPU voltages via the SmartDoctor application and enjoy up to an amazing 15% in performance improvement. For users who are looking for a graphics card offering astounding graphical performances even on default settings, the ASUS EAH4890 TOP will enable an 8% performance boost, delivering exhilarating gaming experiences.Up to 15% Performance Boosts with Voltage Tweak Technology
Equipped with the Voltage Tweak technology and SmartDoctor application, the ASUS EAH4890/HTDI/1GD5 raises GPU voltages from 1.312V to 1.4V, allowing GPU and memory clock performances to be boosted from 850MHz to 950MHz and 3900MHz to 4600MHz respectively. Such unprecedented performance upgrades help raise the EAH4890's 3DMark Vantage Extreme Preset score from 4612 to 5300-an unbelievable 15% speed improvement when compared to any other reference designed board*. Gamers can now feel the adrenaline rush afforded by true-to-life graphics performance, only with the ASUS EAH4890 Series.
Enjoy 108% Performances under Default Setting
The EAH4890 TOP offers a guaranteed increase of its GPU and memory clock performances from 850MHz up to 900MHz and 3900MHz up to 4000MHz respectively. With such extraordinary performance increases, the EAH4890 TOP's 3DMark Vantage Extreme Preset score is raised from 4612 to 4980-an astonishing 8% improvement in speed when compared to any other reference designed board*. This default 8% improvement is the perfect platform for gamers looking for extreme gaming performance right out of the box. So get ready to feel the adrenaline rush of gaming like never before-only with the ASUS EAH4890 TOP!
SmartDoctor for the Most Powerful Overclockability
ASUS garners yet another world's first with the ASUS SmartDoctor-an overclocking utility capable of tweaking the GPU voltage on the EAH4890 Series. Now, with just a mere few clicks, the ASUS SmartDoctor will deliver astounding voltage boosts and performance upgrades-all without the hassles of re-flashing the BIOS at the risk of damaging the cards, or groping blindly for a overclocking button at the back of the chassis.
ATI Stream Technology
The EAH4890 Series also incorporates the ATI Stream technology, which utilizes the massive parallel processing power of AMD graphics processors to deliver new capabilities that go beyond the traditional usage scenarios of graphics rendering and video processing. This enables better balanced platforms capable of running demanding computing tasks faster than ever. Along with leading third-party industry partners and academic institutions worldwide, AMD is building a complete ATI Stream computing ecosystem, one that delivers the performance, applications, software and tools necessary to turn AMD's low-cost application acceleration vision into reality.

I wish that AMD would have released HD 4890 already OC so it would have the single GPU crown, not like this, being kicked so brutally by GTX 275 in almost all benchies.
AMD has put two VT1165 voltage controllers on their cards. One is responsible for the VGPU core voltage and the second one controls the memory voltage. This is very nice for overclockers because they can now change both voltages via software. For the average joe, it is a production cost increase that seems quite unnecessary."
