You will be pleased to hear that the price of the Radeon HD 4890 1024Mb has been substantially reduced in price. With the Powercolor ATI Radeon HD 4890 1024MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail now only £195.98 inc VAT the 4890 now makes a lot more sense.

Do you know if any partners plan to release versions with alternative(read: better and quieter) cooling?

Schnippzle · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:05

Hmmm, tempting... I have yet to see a review of one of these vs 2 x 4870 in x-fire, any idea of how one 4890 would perform?

That Asus 'voltage tweek' one looks great for the price.

Bargain.

Especially when I paid £220 for my 4870 only 4 months ago....

Its the Inquirer but it seems like a water cooled version is imminent,

Release date is apparently the 16th, better start bugging the staff here to find out if they are getting stock.

On topic, looks like very good value from OcUK as always I'm waiting for the next generation though.

Very nice prices. It makes it worth it for people who are on the lower cards and thinking of upgrading

reflux · 7 Apr 2009 at 16:36

Great prices, nice one fellas

Now get dropping those 275s and you might have a sale

You already have a 260. What could possibly possess you to make such a small upgrade?

Wow already! Nice, hoping this keeps pushing down the price of the 4870 so I can get another

malachi · 7 Apr 2009 at 17:29

Is it worth me selling my 4870 512mb and picking up a 4870 1GB? As I only game at max res of 1680 by 1050.

Mikeey44 · 7 Apr 2009 at 17:31

put the 275s down also for the nvidia fanboyys

LOllll

No.

Is one of these worth it over my crossfire 4850's?

Because I'm always trying to find the best performing parts for my machine.
