what would vsync have to do with the fans being loud? also many reviews mention that the 4890 is quite loud under load. these are people that test cards every day so if its noisy enough for them to make comments like I have seen then theres no way I would want one in my system. I personally feel that you are in the minority if you dont think they are loud or cant get them to spin up while gaming. heck even some people could even live with the noisy 7600gt reference cooler which was the most aggravating fan I had ever heard and never idled down.I have 2 new cf cards and i dont think they are loud at all while gaming. They stay in the 20-30% range. I dont know how loud they can be while max load benching, but i enable vsync and they stay quiet while playing cod4 for me. using 9.4 with fans on auto and cards oc to 900/1100.
On that review, they get 23,800 on 3dmark06 with i7 at 3.8ghz, I get 22,800 on my setup, which uses x8 pci-e lanes, and with my slower q9550 at 4.0ghz, I am pleased to be within 1,000 points of theirs.
My Revolution 700 Deluxe can beat HD 4890 CF in 3DMark 06
I get 24.519 points with i7 920 4.1Ghz stock cooling (only get 64xx points in CPU because it reached its TJmax)
lol...is that card even on sale?
I'm considering selling my two 4870 x2 CrossfireX and moving (downgrading) to two 4890 in Crossfire. Any idea how much performance I'd be giving up?
. 30,000 on 3dMark06 is what IMO would make the HD4890 worth the money.
nice
i hope they come out with a single card version
Of course when you don't have GTX285 SLI in that chart geat real.it looks like nvidia is getting its ass owned, again
sorry homie, but this comment rates as the one of the silliest things i've ever seen posted on these forums.
You mean the Revolution 700 Deluxe? Yeah I bought it in February 2009 for 529 US$. Before I know the R700 Deluxe, I was thinking about getting a gigabyte HD4870 X2 but Gigabyte said no stock so I find another 4870X2 and found the R700 Deluxe was ready stock. On the first time I don't realize the R700 Deluxe is a special HD4870 X2. I thought It was just a HD 4870X2 with 2 fans.
It's not really special, just has a bunch of connectivity options and is factory OCed. It's a 4870X2... get over it.
Your just ignoring the numbers.
Forget about 3dMark06.
Just think 25% increase in performance.
GDDR3 peformance issues should be worked out with W7 64bit with direct X11 which should be out soon.

24K with 2 4850s in regular crossfire not quadfire? Wow, sounds awful high. Are you sure you're running 06 and not 05?
Not saying I don't believe you but I'd like to see a screen shot of that. You must be running your CPU close to 5ghz.
Final Core Overclock: 1Ghz
Final Memory Overclock: 1200Mhz (4800Mhz effective)
Sweet merciful Lord. Impressive isn’t it? And to make matters even better, we maxed out the Catalyst sliders which means this puppy has even more left in the tank! Considering we are now hearing reports that some manufacturers (like Sapphire) will be releasing cards which have a pre overclocked core running at 900Mhz or even 950Mhz, we have to wonder what the limit is on these cards. Not only did the core hit the 1Ghz mark but the memory is now flirting with the magical 5Ghz mark.

Holy crap! Me likes alot.
the 3dmark06 numbers are a joke when it comes to nvidia and ATI.. everyone knows nvidia card out perform ATI cards on 3dmark.. doesnt matter what version you use...
Wasn't used, but i've heard some AIB's may make a + additon with the Qimonda 1250 mhz chips in them (5000mhz). Thats pretty insane bandwidth we're talking about. Eat your heart out.
Lol. 3dMark is nothing more than an okay test bench to check whether your GPU/CPU OC's are stable. Even then, i'd rather rely on prime95/FurMark.
3DMark scores are not reflective of actual real game performance. I do hope you're joking when you said you wouldn't buy the 4890's unless your 3dMark06 increased at least by 25%?
