that would be the 280?

then they re jigged a few things and produced the 285 so it was newer tech come Jan this year.

The 280/285 is the same technology/GPU, same processor cores, same memory architecture, same feature set. Just differences in speed, memory speed etc. The GPU is the same.

Are you sure your not a bit of an ATI fanboy, you have a hard time accepting anything I have said.

Dont know where you have been getting your information from but your wrong.
the pcb on the 4890s did not i repeate did not come with volterra memory ics or there for the volterra chip didnt link to the memory voltage.

the only way was hardmodding.

and the only other card i can think of that has memory and core adjustments was the 285 ROG asus Nvidia card.

get me proof becuse i think im 99% sure your wrong.

Your wrong :p both my sapphire 4890's could, I repeat ,could have both the core and memory voltage adjusted.


Edit It dont matter one bit though.

What I would like to know if the 5870 can be adjusted as most of them seem to artefact due to voltage starvation at anything much over 900Mhz.

True ofc, but asus comes with a better warranty which is always a plus :)
Only reason ive bought one.

Oh and it doesnt come with loads of awful stickers on..

Just out of curiosity why would anyone need that long a warranty?

I know for a fact that in a years time I will be upgrading my video card anyway and from what I have seen in this thread most people seem to upgrade within a year.
 
Nice pictures m8, i think you have issues though with case airflow, recommend you get a henry the Hoover in there and 2 more 120s asap :D
