790GX or FX?

Well, I want to buy a system with 1 4890.
IS the extra £50 premium worth it? Will my card perform better? Will my CPU perform better? Are there any advantages? OR is it just for CrossFire?

Thanks,
Alex :cool:

Seems that the GX actually beats the FX in some tests!
What would anyone else suggest?
MSI 790GX-GD65 or 790FX-GD70
£50 Premium

Hi im interested in this aswell.

So does this mean the only real difference is the quad crossfire on the 790FX.

If im getting just a single card would I be better getting the 790GX or not?
