Agreed. I look forward to launch day

Bit steep that for an overclocked 4870, ATi been taken over by Nvidia here or what.
The 4890 is not an overclocked 4870 if thats what you mean, completely different chip.
How, have you been moonlighting?

Intereting, how will the 4870s be priced after the release? Much cheaper? I'm looking to crossfire two of them so that would be good
On a side note I'm guessing that you love COD4 by your sig Finl8y, I loved it myself, WAW was a let down though
Yes i like COD4. WAW is OK & i wish the maps in COD4 was of the scale of WAW. but WAW just does not feel as refined & polished as COD4 even tho i still feel that WAW is still a good game in its own right.

Agreed, US price $249, rip off UK price £230= $328 at current rate.

Well, 'tis the thread:

Apparently the 4890 will overclock like the dog's danglies, according to these guys at least. Frankly, their claims of 950MHz pre-OC'd cards that you can buy off store shelves strikes me as dubious at best, as recent history shows us that pre-overclocked ATi cards are usually pretty mediocre in terms of clock speed increase. Here's to hoping though, eh?
Edit: That screenshot does tell us something semi-interesting though, powerplay now defaults to 500MHz rather than 600MHz.

hmmm...looks like BS to me.

Only 6% faster according to ATi, and Nvidias partners claim the 275 is slightly faster than the 260.

It's in uh... Norwegian or something? It's not too hard to work out what the article's saying though.

They have an english version of the site too.

Oh yeah, I knew they did. Didn't know they'd posted that article in English actually, I know sometimes they post different articles in different languages and don't always translate it. But apparently they did so:
