  • heard latest news..The next XBOX and PS4 will be announced this years E3 and will be released in 2013..According to the legit sources from CVC and IGN, it will be more powerful than the most powerful Graphics card out today. So best waiting another year. It will be matter of time u play the best shooters running on 1080p 60fps on ur living room and on ur expensive 40inch plus HDTV's. Beats playing on ur small monitors with a mouse and keyboard, just my opinion ladies.

  • Make a Retro 4890 like the one they do on Jordans LOL :)

  • My god that came apart easy xD

  • DiAMOND 4890 XOC problem...please hELP...!!!!!!!

    i have a i7 920 D0 stepping cpu, corsair dominater memory... 1010 watt power supply...

    out of nowhere while playing games my comp shuts down and says no dvi sigal... and there are red leds lit up on my diamond 4890...

    and it only used to happen in games but now it is happening while i am just web browsing and it is getting annoying already...

    and i have to wait a long time to turn on my cpu for some reason...

    i have no idea what is going on...

  • @Rocism01 Sounds like a problem with power. That or faulty gpu.

  • @Rocism01 same thing happens to my sapphire 4650,except i'm using a old E7500 and 4gb of ddr2 ram with 600 watt PSU

  • Hey can anyone help me with this. Can modren warfare 2, farcry2, or crysis 2 be played on a 8x cd rom?

  • @uphill248 you could buy a 16x to be safe? they arnt that expensive

  • why is he comparing it with ancient technology compare it with nvidea

  • quiet yes...but I guess that's why it Idles so HOT.

  • i hear a 4890 in the background

  • @koviack xD

  • Cool card. but its hella loud!!!

  • i have xfx 4890. OWNS

  • "1.3 terraflops Marty!"

  • Love the card but, until my 2 cards behave in Windows 7 crossfired with Catalyst A.I. enabled, I'm not getting the maxium performance :/ Noise level be damned, just give error free crossfire in x64!

  • ultra quiet my ass :)

  • i have 2 cards of these but the drivers are horrible

  • So does this gpu process physics in any game or just some supported games? Cause my fps would increase in gta 4 if the physics would be processed by gpu, and let the processor work with the scripts and all.

  • AFAIK, there aren't really any games that the Radeons are enabled to process physics for. Physics calculations on and AMD GPU are theoretically possible, but no game developer has enabled that in a game. It would be really awesome, but all that is available at the moment is the crappy PhysX from NVDA.

  • HAHA. That guy at 1:32 just went like "Dude, WTF?" :P

  • Best card eva. Very cheap compared to nvidia gtx cards. Very powerful. I just hope my power supply can handle it.

  • @CheatEnginer Get a power supply that is a 1000 watts i got one for like 106 dollars at Tiger direct.

  • Ive always been an ATI ;)

  • now you look at that card and think wow its so small as compaired to the 5970

  • lets face it...no matter what card you buy...you spend an arm and leg on and 2 years later youre somewhere in the midrange level...3 years later youre pretty much not playing shit with it.

    about time they make these things cheaper considering their lifetime.

  • Thats why I get new video cards yearly. I would say 2 years after buying a new one its out-dated

  • And? You can say what you want: Since the nVidia 9000series nVidia is sinking!

  • AMD bought Globalfoundries you dumb ass cunt. Hence why Globalfoundries is now their "subsidary" aka they fucking own them. And the plant in new york may not be completed yet, but when it is, they will have the advantage.

    Intel gets their shit from TSMC, they DO NOT own their own plants. There was even speculation about "nvidia buying chips from amd's globalfoundries" because it would be more efficient than going with who they currently do. when asked nvidia wouldn't reply.

    please go learn

  • agree

  • then it will be gtx300 rapes ati. like i said, its a back n fourth battle.

  • if ati is so bad, why did nvidia put a "blocker" in their driver that stops the card from working when in presense of ati hardware?

  • do you know why they need to have "game improvements?", because nvidia drivers are fucking shit.

    "ati releases so many revisions", ati updates their drivers, they don't go back to fix them. there is a huge difference. you, as a consumer, do not see the small tweaks and fixes my company sends to nvidia to FIX their driver before you get them. ati never shows them either, they just constantly upgrade their drivers.

  • lol, yeah, because the specs for the 5900 has be released. mmkay big guy. once again, speculative information.

    you do realize fudzilla states that "ati is waiting to put havok on the chip because they don't want to bog down gameplay with lag" and yet its labeled for 2008..... mmm, awesome, old news. 5870 has havok in it, its not like ageia where it puts a giant task bar icon to let you know its there. plus the game has to support it to use it.

  • big boys? lol

    bad drivers? only reason nvidia has "better" drivers when compared to ati is that my work gets about 10 different driver versions per week. we go through so many revisions its retarded. If you ended up with the base driver for nshitia, you would complain so hard you would pee out your ass. if it wasn't for revisions that my company's helps motivate, you would be saying the opposite about drivers.

  • SO? nvidia tests were comparing the 295 vs the 4870 for a long time and kept saying how much better it was then a single gpu card, but no, if ATI does it, its blaspheme. seriously. its the same thing when nshittia cunt boys end up comparing a sli setup to a stock single card setup, but once again, when ati does it, its a no no "no way" bullshit story.

  • also, if its "nvidia's sources" then how do they know what ATI is doing?

    every year ATI releases cards WAY BEFORE nvidia, being the first on the market. its been that way since AMD bought ATI. ATI gets the initial release, nvidia comes with theirs, being much better, ATI releases a rehook (x2 and new mid range) and then nvidia does too.

    only reason nvidia has better "years" when it comes to selling is dumb cunts like you.

    I prefer knowing over speculating.

  • Fudzilla is speculation you dumb cunt.

    "according to our sources?"

    okay, they violate NDA agreements, lose their jobs, and what did you get out of it? 40nm. okay, ati/amd has been 40nm much longer, didn't order enough? they have tons more stock! they've been doing 40nm for over a year now.

    as I've said, when my work gets a gtx 300 to test, then its close to release, as of yet, we have NOT gotten a gtx 300.  and I'm not even breaking NDA by telling you that. so enjoy your imaginary card.

  • google huh?

    well, my company is a direct test for all nvidia gear, laptops, desktops, motherboards, graphics cards, drivers, and more

    and guess what, we haven't gotten our hands on the 300 series yet, so there is no fucking way in hell its anywhere near release nor does anyone know real specs at this time.

    so good luck with your card that is nowhere near launch. as of right now, nvidia's main focus is laptop's and netbook's. they are also losing money. so enjoy your imaginary card.

  • so the 295 is two chips, hmm, well lets see, the 5870 is one chip, so right there you prove my point. 295? 464 on sale, 5870 which is twice as powerful and only 389. and even IF nvidia drops the 300 series ANYTIME soon, its just that back n fourth battle. the 300 series will come (non x2) then the 5870x2 will launch, then we might see the x2 for 300. its back n fourth. at the time of upgrade, what is your price and what is better.

  • You say its okay to wait for nvidia to press out a card to top the 5870 that just came out, but when it comes to waiting for ati to top out over nvidia its blaspheme. you contradict yourself. its a constant back and fourth battle between the two companies. ati released the 4870x2 before nvidia even knew they were gonna make a x2 card (295) and then when everyone was saying "ati x2 rules over nvidia" they shit out a 295 (failed 2 boards, not the second gen single board).

  • they are cheaper because they dont but fuck you with parts. AMD uses high quality stuff yet maintains a great price, only reason their yearly earning are low is because morons like you have no clue what your talking about and try to talk shit.

  • Have you ever had a AMD processor and game with it vs an intel counterpart? CPU means dick for gaming, its about your GPU. My AMD6000 with the same GFX as "test rigs" with intel get the same fucking FPS on the same exact settings.

    dont say "benchmarks prove your wrong" because benchmarks are synthetic and the programs are MADE for intel/nvidia because they are considered "top dogs".

  • 8800GT, are you fucking serious. My old X1950GT 1Gb got the same fucking frame rates as a 9800GTX and kept up perfectly. please, stop reading reviews, your showing how unintelligent you are.

  • At the moment, the GT300 has NOTHING!

  • the gt300 is not for gameing

  • Ultra quiet fan my ass

  • I am getting this card day after tomorow

  • you made this up show me where you got this information

  • the 5870 has 2.2 billion transistors

  • Holy shit

  • wtf i live north of Toronto

  • god i hate his fake laugh...

  • Wow I've been out of the loop for 4 years now lol, I've still got an X800 Pro lol.

  • hey I think I have that in my laptop......well I might have the newest 1 cause I just got my laptop

  • "Secret underground laboratory"

    You're in the basement of ATi's HQ in Markham? :P

  • How much is this graphic card? ..and which one is better,ATI Radeon 4890 or GeForce GTX 275?.I plan to get the 4890 cause' it uses less power than the 275 while gaming xD

  • 4890 and 4870X2 Beat GTX 275 ! 4890 is equal or beter with GTX280 . But Wheit ATI Radeon Come with New Cards 5000 Series ! Will Beat 295 Muhahhahah . Nice Video 5 Stars

  • ur planning is good cuz nvidia cards are haevy cards for pc and ati si just awesome!

  • 4890 is around $280 (excluding shipping), from Shopbot.

  • lol at tiger direct its 200

  • its 209 at newegg

  • if you people knew anything, when this card was released it WAS the most powerful card on the market back in april before NVIDIA released the 295

  • highest performing gpu on the market??...okay?

  • yeah sereously. it cant be the best when some of Nvidia's cards beat it. terribly.

    yeah its got the Tera Flops but that dont matter to regular gamers.

    i use a ATI HD 4870 so im not some fanboy

  • Its the fastest SINGLE CHIP CARD. The 295 cannot be compared to it. 4890 goes for 195 cheapest, what is the 295 go for? 469 on newegg "on sale".

    Also if you pay attention, they say "best card for the price range". What does Nvidia have for the 200 dollar mark? A GTX 260 and its complete SHIT compared to the 4890. No one is contesting Nvidia's 295, they clearly said "for the price range".

  • i never said the GTX 295 YOU did.

    a GTX 280 Beats this card so it stands to be that a GTX 285 and 295 Could beat this card anyways. and im pretty sure the GTX 275 beats it most of the time to. For the Money ATI's cards are the best. soon they will be better. but if you want better performance as of NOW a Nvidia card would be better. but soon ATI will take over the world. lol 5XXX Series will kick ass

  • I wasn't trying to be mean, but okay with your reply.

    Also, the 5000 series ATI will definitely rape Nvidia, and since the price will be fair, I doubt Nvidia will keep up. Also, AMD/ATI now has its own plant, and its in production. Nvidia has already hinted that they will buy parts from that FAB factory, but hasn't really said it as "finalized".....

  • Mind blowing!!!

  • Could the interviewer possibly look more bored?

  • ive been an nvidia fan boy fro a few years now but since the 4000 series came out ive just really changed my mind. i remeber seeing the 9800gtx come out then the 4850 beating it in every test then nvidia was pushed to come out with and overclocked version "+". amd has really come far with their graphics tech and is in my opinion slapping nvidia around forcing them to release new stuff which in turn came with a terrible name system... which this can be good for everybody now the pressure is on.

  • Yeah ATi sucks... I can see how ATi sucks seeing as how ATi is the one that made nVidia drop prices on three cards because of the 4850 and the 4870.

  • how can u say that nvidia fan boy... fuck off bitch

  • they sell it quite good "the worlds most advanced, single GPU, single board solution for gaming .." but what they dont tell you is that in the benchmarks its still behind the gtx280 and gtx275

    for most games

  • Maybe because the cards where created to perform better then the 4800's?? Kinda hard to compare two cards against another company when those two cards where created to perform better then the other company that caused them to drop the prices on three cards.

  • Oh yeah, I also forgot to mention that it is the 4870 that out perform the GTX 280 in a lot of games.

  • that the* outperforms*

  • Bought 2 of these babies, they'll be arriving soon, upgrading from a GTX260 :)

  • Will i be able to install a vga water block on a 4890 1gb to replace the default fan that it comes with.

  • what do I need to run this graphics card??Please someone write down everything I need to run this GPU =)

  • Lol I turned up my 4890's fan to 100% and it sounds like a hair drier. But when on auto I can hear it :D

  • can't hear it? =)

    My Desktop is still running an ATI X800 =(

  • X300 here.

  • Just ordered this graphics card :) Can't wait!

  • wow this guy being interviewed sure knows his shit.

  • mine wants to take off

  • Ultra quiet fan that makes a safe , quiet and a cool solution my @ss xD i've got a f**king vacuum cleaner in my desktop!

  • He exaggerates , the hd 4850/70/90 have a bad and noisy cooler solution stock, but I have got a vapor-x cooler solution and it's very quiet and cool

  • Is located in Markham Ontario, 1 Commerce Valley Drive East, pretty close for all torontonians anyway.

  • they need to make the 4890 x2 or the 5k series soon

  • Chris needs to lay off the coke, calm down buddy it's just a mid level GPU. "Highest Performing GPU on the market" seriously? I guess he hasn't played on a GTX 295.

  • It is a pretty high level GPU, It is about the same level as the 275, which is actually a better performer than the gtx 280, so It's up there. The coolest thing is the price. 200 dollars??? GTX 275s are ranging from 230-270!

  • fuck you the 295 is good but omg look on the price this cost about 199 dollers and the 295 cost about 499 dollars get 2 of 4890 and you get like 1/3 more performens then the 295.

    So shut the fuck up all about the 295 it good as i sad but it's

    it not as good as all say ok!

  • The 295s good as a single compared to 1 4890, though. I just hope the 5870s/5850s/4995x2s/5870x2s are coming out.

  • buddy this like like 1 month ago

  • Single GPU, not multigpu...

  • Are you fucking stupid? The GTX 295 is a MULTI-GPU solution. It's two graphics cores. The Radeon HD 4890 is a SINGLE-GPU solution. It's a single graphics core. So yes, he is correct; this is the fastest single GPU solution. Right now, the fastest multi-GPU solution is the GTX 295, followed by the Radeon HD 4870X2; however, if you put two 4890's in CrossFire, they're faster than the GTX 295.

    Fool.

  • it's called "marketing" he's hardly going to tell you about nvidias cards when this video is from ati

    nvidia may have all the top slots at the moment but this is the best value card on the market, i just got one for 140quid it's a real beast and it's cheap

  • The radeon HD 4870x2 is way faster than than the GTX295

    Fool

  • No, it's not. It's been consistently shown that the GTX 295 is faster than it, and that they're on par at 2560x1600 resolution, but that a 4870 CrossFire will be about the same speed: somewhat slower in 1680x1050-1920x1200, but somewhat faster in 2560x1600. The only one that is slightly faster is the 4890 CF because it scores pretty much the same at resolutions lower than 2560x1600, but at 2560x1600 it's about 10% faster.

  • pretty sure he said highest single gpu solution

  • LOL "this ultra-quiet fan" BULLSHIT!

  • Yeah ATI seem to attach the world's tinniest piece of crap cooling fan that sounds like a hovercraft at full speed. I would rather buy a 3rd party card with better fans.

  • Yeah, I agree. Sapphire, HIS, XFX, and PowerColor all give better cooling alternatives in their Radeon cards. Besides, buying from those sub-vendors is cheaper than buying from AMD.

  • its quiet..maybe no ultra..but u maybe have a 2 dollar crap tower

  • Are you even from this country? What you replied made no sense what so ever. If you are from this country, maybe you should get back into school. If you are not from this country DIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIEDIE

  • Haha, i mean, i have an 4890 and the fan is totally quiet, thats beacuse i have a isolated tower. and no im not from your country, im from sweden..

    SWECLOCKERS, Best computer clockers in history!

  • Well, if you have the GPU in idle, it is. But in full load, it sounds like a jet about to take off.

  • chris may be exagerating a bit xDDD

  • i had a bfg tech gtx 285oc and then i bought a bfg tech gtx 295. i had endless troubles with both cards and i made tests on my friend computer and same problems. now i have an ati saphirre 4890 atomic and no more problems. i love that card. i have always had amd processors but nvidia cards. from now on i will buy ati cards. my 4890 is rock solid and plenty fast.

  • awesome, im waiting for my sapphire 4890 vapor-x to arrive, its gonna be awesome

  • Im waiting for my Powercolor 4890 to arrive! :D

  • i know imma get flamed for this but my geforced gtx 275 ftw shits on all the amd card lol the 285 ass rapes and the 295 well that card is a waste lol

    i'm just joking guys i got a 4870 and a gtx 275 lol

    i have to get another one for xfire for my other build it's gonna kick ass =0 amd 4 life

  • This card fucking OWNS! I just got it. Its much cooler than the other 38 and 48 models but an after market cooler is always much better. Ultra quiet fan hahahaha... it's quieter than the other models but loud as hell when on high or medium settings. I had a 3870x2 which fried on me and was able to upgrade to this beast. I got lucky.

  • I have an ATI 4850 and like it. These guys here talk and talk and don't say anything new or interesting. Don't believe them about the super cooling. Get an accelro or another aftermarket cooler. My 4850 wetn from 82C default temp to 44C.

  • At 4:10 Chris mentions that the fan is super quiet? Is there a db measurement on this? I would think this is as false a statement as I've ever heard as those blower style fans create a lot of noise. There's nothing wrong with it, the card runs very hot in intense gaming, but saying it's quiet is a plain lie.

  • Scott Wasson at Tech Report said this about the Radeon HD 4770 cooler: "I've tested the stock-AMD and Asus versions of the Radeon HD 4770 here, since they have different coolers. As you might expect from looking at the power consumption numbers, though, neither has to be very loud to keep the RV740 GPU cool."

  • lol but the dx 10.1's prob gonna go to waste cuz windows 7 is oming

  • the gtx 260 doesn't even hav 1tflop..lolololol

  • i'm sure the gtx 295 doesn't hav 1.3tflop of compute power..they just cheat fps with software..

  • what?..

  • lol "we are in a secret underground laboratory where we make the 4890" haha

  • irrelevant

  • My 4950 already requires 3 hurricane Andrews to keep it under 90c ;_;

  • Killa4life is a dumbass. 2 4870 X2 would compare to 2 GTX 295.

    That is like me saying " A 9600 GT? That doesn't compare to crossfired 4890's!!!!!!one!!!111!!!

  • too bad it doesnt compare to quad sli gtx 295's

  • Crossfire is simpler and better a for multi monitor setup while doing an internal parallel circuit in the hardware and software at the same time with each card working with each other rather than having one two or three slave and one master. In crossfire, they're independent and work together like a parallel circuit.

  • yeah it does way better hahhaha

  • Can you do three way crossfire with this card? If so FUCKING AWESOME because this card only costs 230 bucks at comp usa and three would only cost 690 bucks.

  • Sure. You can do 4 way as well.....

  • Fuck your n-shitia.The 4890 beats the

    gtx285 and costs 60% of it's price...

  • ya, go ATI!! ATI rules, ngreedia can go to to hell

    fuck nshitia, its about time ATI owns the nvidiots!!!

  • No, but seriously, the GTX 285 is better, no way around it. Its not like i'm an nvidia fanboy or anything, I actually have a HD4830 in my pc and it does work, but the 285's pretty good.

  • yeah, but you don't need it bro. My 4850 is more than enough for Crysis on a 28 inch screen. Hardware is at least two years ahead of software at this point.

    Can't wait for DX 11 though!

  • the 4830 has more sp's than that...and it can handle physics without software....and it's waay cheaper...

  • Why would you get a 4830 when you can get a 4770? And the 4830 comes with 640SP the 4890 has 800SP. Unless you were taking about the gtx260 which you cant compare the amount of shaders to ATI cause Nvidia shaders are clocked WAY higher but have less.

  • Also i love the cheap shots and Nvidia's smoke and mirrors Physx. They payed companys to show artificial numbers and there being sued for it. Sweet sweet justice.

  • LOLOL my dad works here and ive been in there before!!! OMGOSH!!

  • And im a God, lol.

  • mine too

  • damn, its the markham AMD/ATI HQ. I live 10 mins away.

  • great video card...

    but i not money....

    U_u

    this is the best friend

    for my phenom

    Xp

  • fuck nshitia. fucking ngreedia nvidiots!!!

  • oh, wow.

    you seem very grown up.

  • this place is about 10kms from my house, i should apply for a job there :P

    4890 is pritty sick.

  • it also costs double as much.

  • I ATI Radeoned your mom in bed last night.

  • now where is that 4890x2? :D

  • True, but the GTX 295 isn't even in the same price bracket ($500+) or performance range as the HD 4890. Also, the GTX 295 is a dual GPU.

  • Comment removed

  • Lol GTX 295 cant over clock as well as the 4890 & the GTX 295 needs much more power than the 4890 and the 4890 will cost less i know witch card i would go for and it wouldn't be the GTX 295

  • Man, I wan to work for ATi so bad..

  • I want to work for AMD or ATi so bad aswell :/

  • lol he's holding it like it's some badass shotgun :P

  • because its very powerful thing :P

  • how the fuck do you no its not even out yet

  • it came out on april 2nd, this is just a late video

  • And also +45% expensive. Everything is relative.

  • wish they would stop talking about the physics capabilities until they actually have more than a rough video demo of it out. . .Apply it to the next catalyst, then talk about it!

  • right!

  • The videocard still supports the feature, so they can talk about it how much they want.

    Looking at Nvidias end they actually managed to decrease the performance when running physics from the videocard - which sorta backfired, still they preach about it like no tommorow.

  • I don't care about Nvidia. I never even Mentioned Nvidia. Get off my balls fan boy.

  • Kid, you mentioned them preaching about they support a feature. I gave you an concrete example of where such a feature simply does not work the way they wanted - and I'm a... fanboy?

    Grow some balls before running around bitching.

  • I didn't ask what Nvidia was doing, stop acting like you're some all-knowing informer of godly knowledge that you must give your input on every statement. You children are getting so cute calling everyone kid on the internet, I just wanna pinch your cheek and slap my balls in your mouth for being a moron.

  • I got 2 of these in crossfire. It overclocks really nicely.

    --yytinen

  • are you sure?

  • no shit sherlock

  • how far?

  • Core: 1000mhz

    Memory: 4500mhz

    --yytinen

  • yeah but you need a CPU like the hell to put that card in that......... so.....

  • are u saying its too good?

  • mmm its good but you need a bether motherboard so if you buy that card you need too a new motherboard too
