I just ordered the XFX ATI 4890 XT and Akasa AK-VC03-BLUV Vortexx NEO VGA Cooler for £150, that's a very good damn value for me. The last ATI card I owned was the X800 XT, probably can get £50 for my 8800GTS 512mb.
 
Nice one.

My very first ATI card after 9 years with NV was the 4870 512, it's been a great card.
Looking forward to ATI's DX 11 cards.

The only trouble I have at the moment is, I'm dying to upgrade to a 4870x2 now! But, I'm trying my best not to buy as DX 11 will be out in a few months time..GRRR !
 
my first ATI card was a 9200SE all in wonder, which sucked tbh than i got a 9550 (radeon) that was a good little card.

been with ATI ever since, thinking of going to Nvida if they learn bang for buck alittle better.
 
Yeah very nice antran

Got me 2 of those puppies, lovely crossfired

Would love to hear how you like the cooler too, mate has a 4890 (not a major brand as i can't think of name lol) and wants one for the colour

Cheers

VTA,
I succumbed and went for crossfire, first ever crossfire or sly so what the heck they were great prices lol

And rem, when dx11 cards hit they are going to be a premium for a fair bit i guess

Go on, give into temptation and treat yourself :P
 
I also bought the 4890 just there, but I decided not to get the Neo vortex, someone described it as a hoover. Moving up from an 8800GT :) looking forwards to seeing what it can do. My last ATI card was a 9600Pro

I currently have an Arctic Cooling Accelero S1 on my 8800GT,
might sell the 8800GT with it tho, Whats the best cooler for the 4890?
