4GB eh? Nice. That is, if it gets used.
If they bring it in cheaper than the 295, they're onto a winner.

2gb per chip would offer no real benefit over 1gb, at the moment. imho.
Which partner do you reckon is the one going for the 1ghz card? My money is on Sapphire.

I'll have you to thank for warmer summers then
Hope they fit real coolers on them instead of the dysons they have on the 4890 single cards

If it beats the 295 in Nvidia optimised games as well, then they've killed all the fun4GB eh? Nice. That is, if it gets used.

It would be relly nice if we didnt have to water cool them though, but looking at the power requirements I'm thinking the stock coolers wont be anything like quiet.

To be honest though, these cards will gave a short lifespan, less than 12months (like most cards 
) 5800 and gt300 will probably be out by the beginning of 2010.

Its about having a card that has the power to meet your needs or you can play that waiting game forever.
The 2 4890X2 4GB should power my 30" at 4XAA & 8XAA for sometime to come & newer cards coming out 6 months from now wont magically stop the 4890X2 from performing.
Look at the steam survey & you will see that most people upgrade when they have to & not when there is a new kid on the block.

Still 4890x2 has a market, but the question is when will it be released, and you can be sure that Nvidia has a trick up their sleeve.

You'll still be outputting the same amount of heat
just more efficent transfer from the core to the environment.
