ATI Radeon HD 4890 Graphics: The Inside Scoop

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!

huh? if the 9000 series is sinking then the ATi 4000 series is sinking. since the 9800GTX+ compares to the HD 4850. ;)

No you said, "Also, the 5000 production."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
PS, AMD has ZERO fabs. They sold them remember? duh! They go to Globalfoundries or TSMC now.  Intel has at least 4 fabs of its own. They also have 32nm about to release, and already near done 28nm chips. AMD/ATi has a ways to go yet. buying ATi is helping them now, if its not the cause. *shrugs*

...near done 22nm sorry. They demo'd a working 22nm chip at IDF this year. AMD wont see 32nm til late 2010 / Q1 2011.

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

they 7900GT/X was comparable to the X1900 series. Trust me, i had 2 7900GS's in SLi so i reviewed the whole line of 7900 cards.

Nice try tho.

All i know, is i want the best my money can buy, and if that means i gotta wait a couple months to see both players chips, then that's what i'll do. A lot of people are doing the same thing. Not because they are 100% gonna get a Geforce card, but just to see what it can do and weight the options. That's just being smart. Impulsive can do more harm than good. Case and point.... XBOX 360.
