its still a 4890 but it will run cooler and quieter good luck with your build

will it make that much difference for 30 quid?

Thanks for the reply btw.

No none at all 4890 do run very hot and are very loud if this isnt a problem stick with with XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 1024MB GDDR5 either way you are going to a great card.

Been looking again and decided on the saphire 4890 vapor x version - looks very nice.

PIJ123 · 2 Aug 2009 at 14:14

yes it is get the vapor x

+1 for the vapor x, well worth the premium imo. I'm currently stuck between it, the xfx for £35 less and a bfg 275 oc. Trying to keep costs down unfortunately as really want the HP 24" h-ips.

Vapor x it is then... cannot find it on Overclockers??...
