hey guys, a quick question

[Ozzyx]

i ordered teh ATI 4890 blah blah

this is the advertisement on the site:

- ATI Radeon HD 4890 GPU @ 850MHz
- 1024MB GDDR5 Memory @ 3900MHz..........

*link below*
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-195-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1403

and this is THAT card in my machine using the catylyst overclocking tool

what im wondering, is why the memory clock iso nly 1200 (max) when advertised its 3900

im not to good with cards n stuff so i might just be getting it wrong, but can someone confirm whats up for me? :/ thankyou <3

(its jsut they sent me a card with a broken fan before and so (trust issues have crept up D= ) im just wondering if theyve sent me another faulty product -.-

thanks agen <3

I think it's because the ram is DDR5, so you multiply the speed by 5, hence you have quite a nice overclock going on

Nice one, what resolution were you running at?

the max my tv/monitor has which is 1680 by 1050

no lag at all =s extremely impressed... (to scared to turn the stuff up any higher XD,) im just installing crysis wars now.. the nuke looked awesome on my lil laptop nvidia 8600 GTX so with this it should look pretty darn awesome :3

but yesh i recomend it i loled at the frame rate on counter strike source XD its like 250 FPS lol

tip: BUT i hear if your gna dual (crossfire) 2 of these 4890s then teh GTX 295 is better ;/ even if it costs a lil more
