Radeon HD 48** (RV790) & HD 47** (RV740) Launch On Apr 6th
- Thread starter Final8y
- Start date
I'll be waiting for the games that actually utilise this power! You can get cards costing no more than £150 that will play the most graphically demanding games all bells & whistles on a decent system. Some people have got more money than sense!

So if the 4750 lies between the 4830 and the 4850 according to guru3d, where does the 4770 stand in terms of performance?
Price of the 4890 sounds a bit much considering the price cuts which have been announced on the 4870s.

Damn right its not, as its our team doing it ey.
Nvidia changed the first number, overclocked them, stuck them back out at higher prices.
ATi are changing the 3rd number, overclocking them, and sticking them back out at higher prices.
Jesus how thick am i, your right, its not the same at all, ATi's changing the 3rd number instead of the first, how the hell did i miss that, so im just off outside to give meself a flogging, sorry all.
To be fair nvidia didnt just do that once though, they kept on doing it with the same part
8800GTS -> 9800GTX -> 9800GTX+ -> GTS250 -> ?
When will those green monkeys stop!
Saves money on R&D that's for sure.

My 4870X2 can't handle Empire @ 1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF all-Ultra so I doubt a 4850 can.
Unless by "all bells & whistles" you mean "a few things on medium @ 1024x768 with no AA"
yea but neither does crysis + that is the demo at least wait until the full games here.
if you ask me there really isn't anything that demanding for pc this year a 4850 or even 8800 gts/gt will be fine for most of the big releases.
personally selling / downgrading my rig and getting a 360 for sf IV and fifa fight night round 4 etc.

They have yet another cherry on top of the renaming.

8800gt and 9800gt are the exact same card.
Nvidia changed the first number, overclocked them, stuck them back out at higher prices.
ATi are changing the 3rd number, overclocking them, and sticking them back out at higher prices.

Its not being marketed as a new generation. Its like the 8800ultra coming out, or an x850xt pe card. Consumers are aware that its just the same generation HD4k. Instead of simply adding suffixes ATI signify a position by its latter numbers when they dropped the whole xtx and pro monikers. Nvidia on the other hand are marketing this completely differently.

At least ati aren't claiming it to be a generation newer...
Soldato
)2 generations newer you mean. GTS 250
They're using a lower transistor chip to get good yields for the new 40nm tech. If everything works fine they can move onto bigger chips.
