New Force 3D HD 4890 Accelerator Needs Only One Power Connector

btarunr · Sep 11, 2009

Force 3D rolled out a refreshing take on the ATI Radeon HD 4890 with its own-design F4890P-G5-350-FS. This model offers all features of the GPU running at AMD reference clock speeds of 850/975 MHz (core/memory), while needing only one 6-pin power connector, while most other accelerators based on the GPU require two, some overclocked models even needing a 6+2 pin power connector to replace one of them. This card has a slim design, with a short PCB, and a decent Arctic Cooling Accelero Twin-Turbo Pro cooling the GPU. It holds 1 GB of GDDR5 memory, and includes DVI-D, HDMI and D-Sub for connectivity. It has started selling in Japan for a fairly standard price.

That's actually really cool, great for people with lower spec PSU etc!

afw · Sep 11, 2009

Low power draw , low temps ... wow .......

Mistral · Sep 11, 2009

I have the Accelero Twin-Turbo... I have no idea how anything you slap it onto could be called "a slim design". It's very nice that the PCB is shorter, but that's still 3 slots right there...

amd has their game locked tight!

This card may only need one power connector....but my overclocking obsession demands two. :nutkick:

kraaaazy!

i can see this being popular for crossfire users, less plugs = easier on most PSU's

(assuming it fits, with that huge cooler in the way)

pantherx12 · Sep 11, 2009

Well even if you put on something like an Akasa neo and sell the cooler that comes with it its pretty nifty : ]

Wonder if it only needs one 6-pin because it's drawing more power through the PCI-E 2.0 slot... would this mean you couldn't use this card on a PCI-E 1.1 board?

i don't believe that is possible. PCI-E 2.0 was spec'd to deliver up to 150watts but for some reason it hasn't been implemented yet, or hasn't been activated if it is possible on all 2.0 supporting mobo's.

Oh -- good. Just wondering -- got a few older systems, was wanting to upgrade them with a few monster video cards a year or so from now when 4890's are like $80.

^^ you remind me ...old Video cards Price Like Geforce FX 5800 Ultra

Cheeseball · Sep 11, 2009

Awesome size. The twin-turbo is quite nice as well.

InnocentCriminal · Sep 12, 2009

Wonder how it compares to a normal two connector 4890 - I'm be interested on the stability of the card.

WarEagleAU · Sep 13, 2009

Very nice, Im all about lower power draw.

true but some of us only use 1 gfx card and never xfire. there is still room for a sound card and even an Intel NIC
