4870 or 4890: Must know now!

Thread says it all. Which should I buy?

I need to know before the next 3 hours pass.

The 4870 is 149.99 and the 4890 is 199.99

Both are XFX. Both have 1gb onboard.

I'll be gaming @ 1920x1080. Mainly WoW. I hope to finally play crysis though on my 47".

Powercolor has a 4870 for 124.99 right now. These are my only real options. Thanks guys! If you have a better idea throw it at me.

Wouldn't the last 50 bucks be better spent on some proper cooling, then OC the s*** out of the 4870 ? What does the l337 say?
1 gb ram is a prerequisite, you got that right! If You REALLY want to let Crysis rip on that resolution, you need two 4870s in Xfire!

Where are you, mate? Price and availability vary hugely across the Globe.
If you want to mainly do this for Crysis then the GTX260 is probably a better choice, that game does love Nvidia hardware.
As a general choice, the HD4890 is a bit faster than the 4870 and overclocks better, so +1 for the 4890: Score now 2-1 for the HD4890 but this is only half time.
One word of caution: Check the coolers, a great meny dump their heat into the case and unless you have good/excellent veltilation this can lead to heating issues, both for the card and surrounding componets.

Edit for light sarcasm: Why the rush, man? Relax. They'll be there tomorrow

As a stop-gap, until the even newer 'cool toys' come out later, the HD4870 is by far the best way to go.
Yes, it will play Crysis at 1920x1080, just keep the AA off or low.

In my opinion, go with the 4890, you can OC the absolute crap outta that thing, the 4870 is good, but the 4890 is better and WAY more overclockable...

@ AlphaOmegaAX: Yes, you should definately get the 1 Gb card at that resoloution.
Anyway they are not that much more...At least here in the UK.
Have fun, mate.

Yep. that's the powercolor card I referenced.

I'm going with xfx for the 1gig. It's only 149

I try not to look at the rebate price. By the time you actually get one you've usually forgotten about it.

Will consider it anyways
