XFX Readies Radeon HD 4890 XXX, XT OC Editions

MilkyWay · Apr 1, 2009

the box is more wack than the bloody card itself, the power usage bothers me tho

if it was me id wait for the next set of cards which will be around the corner, i plan to keep this gtx for a while or id just by current cards like the 4870 1gb or the gtx 260

This box has been used for a long time by XFX, way back when the Geforce 2 cards were out Wall Mart had the boxes and I always thought it was odd, but eye catching on the self.

MilkyWay · Apr 1, 2009

yeah the 5xxx series nvidia used em, it was just the same now you mention it a big x shaped box except green and purple and black

HolyCow02 · Apr 1, 2009

the box is ridiculous. And I'm sure they are going to put some crazy price point on that thing. Those cards are supposed to clock over 1GHz yet the highest version they are selling is 950? Lame.

I like that is comes with H.A.W.X though... good way to sell them

All jokes about the box aside (at least it isn't boring), I am really glad XFX is doing ATI cards. :rockout:

Nice to see something outside of the box? XFX and MSI has some nice packaging. Don't see why this won't sell.

I can't keep up with all this technology ! How am i supposed to build a new rig !?

hooj · Apr 1, 2009

Nice card btw !

Roph · Apr 1, 2009

Reminds me of some old XFX Geforce FX boxes, they did the same kind of thing.

I would buy it just for the box

AMD Radeon HD 4890 tested!

Wicked!

I believe I saw an HD4890 1gb today at Fry's Electronic, TX. I think it's a Diamond brand I saw it cost $259.99. Maybe they release it a day or two early? Nice benchmark review by the way. This is like GTX285 but cheaper, oh this is good stuff.

nafets · Apr 2, 2009

XFX probably spent more time/money on the damn box than they did on developing/specializing/customizing the actual video card.

Idiotic, considering that once you buy the video card, the box sits in your closet for the rest of it's life.

Next time, spend that "marketing" money on actually improving the product... :/

the PCB better be red too - it will be such a turn off if it has a blue PCB or on the other hand it would looking totally random like a fucking hippy on crack when you pull it out of the box

Can anyone source a picture of a pallet full of these cards ? I would love to see what and how a shitload of these would look piled up and shipped to our countries.

I like to keep the box(s) of my current top card up on a shelf for display until its replaced at which point its thrown away. Usually only lasts till the dust starts to settle. Im not saying i would buy the 4890 but the box would look darn good on the shelf for the next 2 months.

I like the look of the packaging, and im glad XFX are making themselves noticed in the ATi realm. Whats important is performance in the end, so im eager to see how XFX's alterations to reference turns out for them. From what i have noticed thus so far is that they have no problem with short term performance and stability.
