Could you please tell me which 4890 is better, it sounds like a weird question but they all have settle differences and if you know of a better 4890 please let me know. The card will be used for high end gaming.

The sapphire is better - it has a slightly higher core clock, and a much higher memory clock. It also has a better cooler. Of course, it is also quite a bit more expensive (and the XFX is better for the price).

 

The best 4890s on the market should be the Sapphire 4890 Atomic and the XFX 4890 Black Edition, but I can't seem to find either for sale anywhere.
