4850 and 4870 xfired or 4890 and 4870 xfired. hi i need a quick response if you can i can get ahold of a palit sonic 4850 512mb for $80 or a sapphire 4890 1gb for $165 i currently have a 4870 512mb visiontek but i find it's laggy on max settings at...

ATI 3450, 3470, 4350, 4850, 4870 or 4890. I am going to strictly use the computer to download movies and view them via TV, Sony 55" XBR8 HDTV Bravia. Currently I am using Sony laptop with ATI 3470 and the movies look great. Also previously used Nvidia video...

x 1050. How about the 4890? Not that expensive, but faster than 4870 Don't you think 4890 is an overkill for 1680 x 1050? There's only going to be around 4 fps difference between the two cards... ^ lol... 4 fps between 4870 and 4890? what crack pipe are...

up a 4870(?) since they are about $120. It also depends on your resolution. If an 8800GT and 4850 were good, then the 4870 will be really good. I'm not sure that its totally necessary to buy, say a 4890 for ~$200, unless you plan on sitting out for the next...

wants to upgrade from a 512MB 4870 to a 1GB 4890 but the lower power consumption of the 5770 with the equivalent speed of a 4870 looks very appealing. A 1GB 5770 is priced in between the 1GB 4870 and 4890 cards. $175 vs $155 and $195. The 5770 can actually...

really no reason to get a 5770 if these benchmarks are correct since the 4870 and 4850 are already $150 and $100 respectively. >_> Pretty much, unless like me you still use an 8800GS. Or if you REALLY want DX11/Eyefinity. For all of you who use an 4870/4890...

in Crysis, two 4670s crossfires at best, only gives you the performance of a single 4850. And a 4870 is about 20-25% better than a 4850. A 4870 would be more powerful. Two 4670s in CF are more of a match for a 4850, but not a 4870. Not only that but if you...

but sli is only with model specific cards like 275+275 ect but crossfire can be done on similar cards like 4870+4890 or 4850+4870 ect and to answer your question the 4870+4890 will be better and you can set both clocks independently, you can even set the clocks...

power consumption Lies. .. And slander. @OP, I'm disappointed in the 5770. I expected it to be inbetween GTX260/4870 and the 4890. Yet ATI just couldn't go with a 192-bit or lower the price. True, the 4870 needs to be cleared off the shelves, but...

is 20 inches or smaller the 4870 is its bigger and the 4890 if you just want to max out everything both the 4850&4870 offer the best return on your money Resoloution, budget and details on the PSU please. The HD 4870/4890 both need two 6 pin PCI-E...
