4890's are badass. In CrossFire they are REALLY badass. AWESOME card, not just a overclocked 4870 IMO.

I think it's safe to say, there are modifications, it's not the same chip, there are some improvements and it's a bit faster than the HD4870, it's not designed to be an upgrade FROM the HD4870 just an additional choice for those with lower end or older gen cards considering an upgrade..... thats gotta be good hasent it?

They forgot to add in ATI's line up, as it does not fully beat the GTX260 216 in ALL given situations..

Amazing how much fuss you people make if it's the same rv770 or a new chip... when it comes to ATI.

But when nvidia pushes the same rebranded chip over and over again, hardly anyone talks about it.

Some nvidia flu, he?


Good for AMD, nice chip... still awaiting ASUS's TOP!

As was said Nvidia actualy gets more grief over rebranded cards because its just BS.

Not the point... I was stating that most people comment it's the same RV770 and that there are no true diferences between them!

No arguing here... for the retail market, NV more grief about it.
