Can i put this card on Frontier 450W? I have Amd Athlon 3600+, 4Gb DDR2 and 500GB HDD more on that....now i use ATi 4670 1Gb DDR3..... If someone know can i try it tell me :P
No it was realsed 2 april like the gtx 275 search on google man! i wonder how this video even got so many views the first days. IT WAS BECUZ THEY LEAKED PICTURES! just type in hd 4890 realse date in google and ull c for ur self..
K, well, i have a HIS 4890 radeon video card in my computer that's been in here december 2008, and i don't care what it shows off google i got the release date off of the manufacturers site. think. that might be the one that's correct.
Im not a fanboy, but. Ati cards just sux, no Phsyx, no CUDA. Ati got only CrossFire nothing else. If i have to chose between HD4890 - GTX280 - I WOULD GET GTX280.
gtx 280/285 is not in the same leauge as the 4890. the gtx 275 is its competition.
ati has much better supprot for hdcp stuff.
plus theyres actually only 2 major games that have physx mirrors edge, and ut3. and honestly most people will never touch cuda. but then again ati has theyre useless add ons too like dx 10.1. i own both those games and have had a gtx 260 and physx is just a marketing ploy to get you to buy the card.....the physics effects were by no stretch a deal breaker
Im in the middle of my first build and Im alittle worried about getting a Video Card, I dont know much about em'. Im probably not going to be a SERIOUS gamer however if a game comes out that I want to play, Im going to want to rock it. Any suggestions on cards?
jaja, even my mobo supports c-fire x, , , fuck cuda, but still, you can use ati card and a 8800 gt as physx, or any other 8,9,100,200 series nvidia cards as physx which i think will be perfect if u use it with ati card,
if your monitor is smaller than 20 inches get an ati 4770.
if its between 20 and 22 inches get a 4850, gts 250, 4870, or gtx 260
if its between 23 and 25 inches
dont get a 4890 get a 4850x2...its exactly the same price and alot faster.
if you have just a ginormous frickin monitor then get a 4870x2 or gtx 295 but then again if you had that big of a monitor you would probably already know that.
lol, , ,what bout the resolutions, you can get 1490 by 700 on 17", 19" and come old 20 21" , , and you will have to buy upcoming 4890 x2 if u want to use apple cinema display with 2560 by 1600
i think the resolution you meant was 1440x900 which is standard for 19 inch widescreens and some high res 17 inch screens. but yeah a 4770 comes real close to 4850 performance so it can handle it plus its frikin dirt cheap for 100 bucks.
and 2560 x 1600 is actually 30" resolution which a 4870x2 or gtx 295 can already do easily in any game. theres really no reason to upgrade right now the new cards that just came out are not that much faster at all. id wait for the nvidia 300's or ati 5000's
yeah ur right, , im building a mid range pc, , i got p6t board alredy, i want to buy 920 i7 and i got 3 PCI x slots, ,wat cards would u suggest me to buy, i might buy 1 x 4870 512mn, which is so fuckin cheap rite now, cant belive it, 120 £, round 100 buxx, , or i might get 2 4850s or 1 9800gtx, , im kinda confused , everythings cheap now and too many choises
well thats a good system so far. depending on how fast and what settings you want to play what games...keep in mind far cry 2 and the crysis games and grid liked my gtx setup i used to have while the call of dutys and fallout3, and fear 2 like my ati setup better. also if you have a 24 inch monitor forget about the 4850's, 9800gtx/gtx+/gts 250, or anything weaker than those cards, they dont have enough umph to drive 24" monitors on max settings.(well atleast not enough fps for my standards)
if your getting a 19 or 20 incher stick with the new ati 4770 its just a tiny bit slower than the 4850 or gts 250 but its like 50 bucks cheaper and at 1440x900 should max out any game and still get super good fps....but from my personal experience the bigger the monitor the more headshots : )
nice looking card... planning on getting one very soon, great price tag, as it is the same price as the gtx 280, but much faster. this also will support direct-x 11 games in the future! that is cool, because nvidia's present cards will not be able to. so if you wanna play future dx11 games, you gotta buy a brand new nvidia card. sucks to be an nvidia fan =/
they also stocked it with 3million more transistors, a faster cooling system, 100 core clock mhz faster, faster memory mhz rates, and it is 3 times more overclockable than nvidia cards.
don't talk shit about ATI if you don't know what you are talking about. go back to nvidia, have fun having to buy a brand new nvidia card for dx11 games in late 2009-2010, cuz nvidia doesnt support dx11 games now, ATI already programmed that into their cards :)
ATI is better for budget, but the best cards would probably be Nvidia. i prefer ATI because they are much more affordable and have great performance, but ATI's drivers are shit and make me want to buy an Nvidia because the drivers suck so bad
just ordered the XFX 4890!!! benchmarks rip shit up...its replacing an XFX 8800GT ....got a phenom 720 as well...ill do an unboxing for yall...should be here tommorow or monday (april 6 = visit to my PO) lol ........im gonna murder UT3!!
Early tests with beta drivers show it's neck in neck with the GTX285 in most cases, so I'm pretty sure it will end up faster than the GTX275 all around, a card that is still nowhere to be seen btw.
Also, it's nice to know, most will OC to 1000MHz+. :)
There's plenty of improvments to the card than just clock bumps, look them up. :P
this card is ok my buddy just got one and we went to his place ot try it out and it dont work as good as i though it would.... the card gets a (((8/10)))
Uhm... the GTX275 will be more expensive at launch, not to mention, it can't possibly be alot faster, since it's bascicaly a gimped GTX285, from all possible perspectives... bus width, core clock, shader clock, memory clock, vbuffer size.
this is going to be released april 6th. its real world performance on beta drivers is supposed to bench just as well as a gtx 280/285. imagine what it would do with official drivers. a 4890x2 would probably crush the gtx 295 since the 295 is basically two 260s in sli.
This card and 4800 series is just awesome. It's cheap for AMD to manufacure and delivers extremely great performance for it's price to us. GTX275 should end up slower or tie with this, but is very expensive for nVidia to make. GT200 GPU on the nVidia GTX cards is big, and the GTX cards uses 448/512-bit wide memorybus with GDDR3 which is more expensive and not faster than AMD's 256-bit bus with superfast GDDR5 which is more efficent and cheaper to make.
Yah im curently building a system and the only thing missing is a graphic card so i searched around for a good 4870 and while i did that i found this!!!! and it says its coming out in april so now im just waiting for this sucker ;) ima do a unboxing video when i get it,,,,stay tuned!:D
really ? :) i will appreciate it if u could make some benches or games with that card ^^
reason for asking is that maybe i will buy it 2, but i'm not certain yet because the r870 chip cards are coming Q3-09 (5850, 5870 probably etc. ) already thx for in advance ^-^ sry for bad grammar :S
ATI and Nvdia are in different directions. ATI are currently working on 32nm chips that will save power and at the same time lower temps, while Nvidia are working on power hungry beasts that must drain enormous amounts of power.
Excuse me, but - do you really counting those watts that you spared with low energy-consumption technologies ? Or you wants to say that difference of heat exhaust between 4870 and 260Gtx is considerable ?
No offence but at present situation you, probably, give preference to productivity instead of "green technology".
The most interesting part of this confrontation between Nvidia and ATI we will see in the next generation of GPU (Radeon 5XXX and 3XXGtx) when Nvidia consider it's miscalculation
they will ue this powerfull ati for the new hd wii2

This card and 4800 series is just awesome. It's cheap for AMD to manufacure and delivers extremely great performance for it's price to us. GTX275 should end up slower or tie with this, but is very expensive for nVidia to make. GT200 GPU on the nVidia GTX cards is big, and the GTX cards uses 448/512-bit wide memorybus with GDDR3 which is more expensive and not faster than AMD's 256-bit bus with superfast GDDR5 which is more efficent and cheaper to make.

really ? :) i will appreciate it if u could make some benches or games with that card ^^
reason for asking is that maybe i will buy it 2, but i'm not certain yet because the r870 chip cards are coming Q3-09 (5850, 5870 probably etc. ) already thx for in advance ^-^ sry for bad grammar :S

ATI and Nvdia are in different directions. ATI are currently working on 32nm chips that will save power and at the same time lower temps, while Nvidia are working on power hungry beasts that must drain enormous amounts of power.

This has been flagged as spam show
and the power consumption of ati based cards is bigger than nvidia, how you can explain that?
Crossfadertm 2 years ago
Excuse me, but - do you really counting those watts that you spared with low energy-consumption technologies ? Or you wants to say that difference of heat exhaust between 4870 and 260Gtx is considerable ?
No offence but at present situation you, probably, give preference to productivity instead of "green technology".
The most interesting part of this confrontation between Nvidia and ATI we will see in the next generation of GPU (Radeon 5XXX and 3XXGtx) when Nvidia consider it's miscalculation
