Ah finally.

Awesome round up.

Seems like that the 4850 would be a good choice.

Great round up Rich. That must have taken a lot of work to put it all together :worship:

All you need now is the 4890x2 to finish off the 48xx series

The 4850 is deffo a great card for the cash.

Great round up Rich. That must have taken a lot of work to put it all together :worship:

Will crossfired 4890's suffice for now?

Oh wow - great roundup, really nice work

Cheers

I suppose they will have to do

You have been a busy boy! Nice work matey, kudos as ever :thumb:

Nice one Rich!!

Good to see some up to date figures. Just look at the CoD results. The X2 is quite a few frames over doubling the 4870 FPS.. Drivers and memory obviously helping but at least the theoretical power has actually happened in one game.

don't forget the 4830

Nice roundup though, interesting results on the 4890

Great set of reviews.

Just a little typo on the first page, the spec table has two "Max Resolution Analog Vertical" rows with different values. but no "Max Resolution Digital Vertical" row.

 

[w3bbo]

Ta sorted.

Great review mate, looks like ATI have a great partner in XFX, Nvidia must be ever so slightly disappointed

 

[w3bbo]

Wonder if they have approached Sapphire as a return salvo

 

[Grimreaper123]

Now that really would make things intresting.

Nice review man. However, one thing I have no bleeding clue about is how these cards sit compared to older generation cards, in my case the 8800GT?

I've been out of the loop for a bit too long..

 

[w3bbo]

The 4850 would easily beat the 8800GT.

The 4870 is on a par with the GTX260 thereabouts, The 4890 is on a par with GTX275 and the 4870x2 is on a par with GTX295. Hope this helps.

That's wicked, cheers. I think I'll be heading towards a 4870 and a new screen sometime soon
