The New Technology SAPPHIRE Vapor-X

[DemonTraven]

the design of these vapor-x series cards didnt change alot really, i have a 6870 vapor-x and it loooks pretty similar

[3dkiller]

vapor chamber with dual fan solution will be better tho :)

[xSuLFaTEx]

ive got 5770 vapor-x and it never goes higher than 50deg celsius

[kalastaja132]

this owns nvidia

[ajuki95]

One day i was thinking about nickname in cs 1.6, i was looking through window of my case and i saw VAPOR-X...This name rocks

[labobo]

crap, how about some real life numbers like decibel comparisons etc.

[1mper1alGuardsMen]

is not you video moron (forbon123)

[JokerArmy1]

The problem with this is the Temp/airflow.. if u have bad airflow this vapor-x will fuck up ur comp since it the temp on ur mobo and cpu and so on will get higher.

[JokerArmy1]

Any problems with a vapor-x card? Airflow? Temps? No air going out problem?

I've got the Club3D Radeon HD 4890 Superclocked Edition which I have overclocked to 1000 Mhz on GPU clock, which is exactly the same as the Sapphire Atomic Edition of the HD 4890. The difference is just that it is watercooled which mine is not, but mine has a huge heatsink. And mine isn't noisy at all. Only my stock CPU cooler. :-P

[Nefus2]

I guess you bought that heatsink? If so you can´t use two graphics card in Crossfire. I read a review of a huge graphics card heatsink and it took alot of space!

[CR9Compilations]

The best coolers ever

[ratikarl66]

Yeah these cards rocks!!

I ve got the ATI HD radeon 4890 vapor x with 2 GB !! This card is pretty cool^^

[ArmyofSeaturtles]

this card looks great but the only thing i dont like about it is that it comes with 1 dvi and 1 vga. i wana see 2 dvi not vga D:

[sTanMcSh4Dy]

I ordered the Radeon HD 4890 Vapor-X 1gb :D I'll get it next week cant wait for it ^^

[HarpyTV]

HOW much cooler? Worth it?

[Mindereak]

a 275 beats a 280 in a lot of benchs, the 275 FTW beats the stock 285.

The rival for HD4890 si GTX275 but personally i prefer the HD4890 ^^

[Mindereak]

PS Don't buy 2Gb video cards ;)

[kruze1994]

Why?

[Mindereak]

Cause Today games don't use more than 1Gb, it's better choose a vga with higher frequencyes than a vga with more memory.

PS Sorry for my english u.u

[kruze1994]

@Mindereak

THX! your english is ok ;)

[Mindereak]

You're Welcome :)

And thx for your opinion about my english :p

[ko2wpk]

been using it for 2 weeks...maybe 275 was a better option??

[eurozx5]

1gb model has been running great so far, just installed it today.

[BlitzWolf]

i ordered the 4890

[BlitzWolf]

this is a nice card indeed. i ordered one today and should expect it in 3 days. can't wait to try this bad boy out.

[TheSzert]

@BlitzWolf  please tell me where you bought it! i can't find it anywhere!

[BlitzWolf]

@TheSzert Hey man, I bought mine off of newegg. I'm actually looking into buying another one to run in cross-fire mode with my new computer. I've had no issues with this card at all so far. Looking on newegg though they say they are out-of-stock.

[sugelx]

Is this video card better than GTX 260 Black edition and GTX 275??

[gkslayer]

It is way better tahn gtx260 but very similar to the gtx275...

[roshawn1111]

yeah but the 216 cor out performs the gtx 260

[gkslayer]

There are no gtx 260/192 anymore. All benchmarks are made with 260/216, and the 4890 outperforms any gtx 260 ;).

[roshawn1111]

lol opps typo i meant the core 216 can out perform some gtx 280's XD

[gkslayer]

Same, 4890 is better than ANY gtx 260, the logic rival 4 gtx 260 is 4870/1gb, not 4890.

[roshawn1111]

dude wat are you talking about i kno this i didnt say anything about nvidia vs. ati, i said gtx core 216 can beat some nvidia gtx 280's

[gkslayer]

Sorry, dont think of me as an annoying fanboy, it's just that say that a 260 beats a 280 es somehow misinform...

[roshawn1111]

read the benchmarks it don't beat it like that but in some games it does over power a gtx 280 but barely, so th 280 is still more powerful

[Feder147]

yes it can outperform a 280 when the 216 is overclocked. However an overlcocked gtx 280 will beat any gtx 260 overclocked, the 275 is a different story, i think the 275 beats the 280.Although i may be wrong, but im 80% sure since when overclocked the 275 can beat a 285 overclocked, however it cant beat a ftw gtx 285.

[roshawn1111]

yes i kno

[vertibirdsoldier]

@Feder147 just buy a 5970 and be happy :D

[Feder147]

@vertibirdsoldier

overkill, i dont think anyone needs anything above a 9800gtx. However its nice to have something thats Way ahead of the spec like the 5970 for bragging rights. Although personally id just get a corei7 920 and a kick ass watercooling rig and overclock away.

[vertibirdsoldier]

not for bragging u need it for the best performance

[pirtea]

YES:d

[mikedapimp1122]

its on par against the 280

[ThePeresosos]

do want

[32JSE]

The 2gb model is awesome.Gotta buy it.

[noooooooooam]

i'll buy it next week!!

hell

fucking

YEAH!

[Antje14]

[trancerecordlabel]
