will i notice the difference?

[kmufc77]

hi in perfomance terms running at a res of 1920 by 1080 will i notice the difference going from a GTX 280 to 4870 1GB? or to a 4890 1GB?

 

[siumatfung]

no not really theres not much init the 4890 is slightly better than the GTX 280 and the 4870 alightly worse wait for the DX 11 cards to come out at the end of the year it will be the ATi 5XXX series cards

 

[Jono8]

probably not. I would have thought a 280 is faster than a 4870 and a bout on a par with a stock 4890.

 

[kmufc77]

Need bit of advice ive sold my GTX 280 for £200 today im looking at either the 4870 1gb or the 4890 1gb is the 4890 that much beter to spend a extra £40? also if so is the asus worth a extra £5 with the voltage tweak or shall i get the free Haux game with the XFX?

no as i will be limited to 512 mb or Vram i need 1gb for res of 1920 by 1080 really

 

[unknownsock]

Wouldnt touch 512 cards at 1080p.

Tbh wouldve kept the gtx 280, save up more and get a gtx285.
4870 is a downgrade and a 4890 is most likely on par with your gtx280.

 

[Phatzy]

tbh ill keep the £200 wait for dx11 cards no point in wasting money.
up to you really

i made £200 on the GTX so i will make a bit of a profit i just want to know if the 4890 is that much better than the 4870

May as well get a 4870X2 since its only going to cost you another £30 or so.

ive owned one and had problems i want a single gpu either the 4870 1gb or the 4890 1gb

 

[elpedro]

Get the 4890, overclock the knackers off it then you are back to square one but with £40~ in your back pocket.

 

[TheRealDeal]

From a review think it was hardocp at your resolution a stock 4890 allows you to play a level up settings wise compared with a 4870 and gtx260. Its really overclocking that makes the 4890 a much faster card than the 4870 though.

Found the review gives a little insight into what you want to know.

Sorry, whisked through the thread a little too quickly I'd get the 4890 then otherwise if you get the 4870 it will be a downgrade. 10 - 15%

 

[kmufc77]

ok so the 4890 it is then now my next question lol, is it worth getting the asus with the voltage tweak over the XFX model that comes with 2 free games 1 being a decent game

 

[TheRealDeal]

I think the xfx with the games as you can tweak the voltage with rivatuner. Also i like the idea of having that ocuk rma warranty.

 

[arc@css]

I'd wait for some other responses on your last question but me...I'd get the Asus one. Whatever one you get its going to go like a rocket.

 

[Jono8]

your seriously going from a 280 to a 4890?

Unless you are getting more for the 280 than you are buying the 4890 at i can't see how it is worth it.
