Hi guy's,

My Powercolor HD 4890 has gone up the shute, so it's going back on warrenty but they don't make this card anymore, been told to expect a 5000 series card but not sure what would be an equal replacement. Just wondered if anyone had any suggestions.

Cheers Sy
 
your looking at a 5830 as that's pretty much even stats with a 4890, anything better and keep your mouth shut :P if they try and fob you off with a 5770 or lower scream blue murder at them

Note: the 5830 is 1-2 fps behind the 4890 in the benchies but this should improve with newer drivers

5830 Minimum.
If they offer you a 5770 I would complain as it is just not up to par performance wise, yeh it does dx11 and uses less power, but it is just not as fast.

imo
