Hi there,
Im looking to pick up a XFX 4890 as the 5850 prices have increased and are also out of stock. I dont mind them for 259, but 279 is way to high compared to the 4890 at 185.
So im going with XFX for the 4890 only coz they look nice then other brands and i see two designs of the 4890 by XFX.
The 2 of them are --
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150359
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150438
I prefer the second one as it looks better.
What i want to know is if there is a difference between the 2 designs in terms of performance, heating or anything else. Is there something i should know why both of them are designed differently? does this have anything to do with reference and non reference designs?
pls assist.
Thanks!
