Not quite sure what you are asking, I mean the 4890 is clearly the most powerful and at £120 is a steal.

So, what Res are you playing at? what are the rest of your PC specs?

pritty obvious question rly, 4890 ***

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8400 LGA775 2.66GHz
Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR Intel P45 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
Corsair XMS2 4GB (2x2GB) DDR2 PC2-8500C5 TwinX Dual Channel
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache

just wanted to know whether it was really worth the extra quid for the power and also if it would fit looks quite big

all the ati 4000 series cards are the same size i think, plus the nvidia ones have larger coolers

 

[ryujinjakka]

go for the 4890, from what i heard it has more performance and cools better than the 4870

4890 is worth it over the 4870, especialy at £120.
