Forums - PC - ATi HD4890X2 announced

Viper1 on 13 April 2009

The HD4890 was released just a few weeks ago and ATi has wasted no time in prepping a dual GPU model to follow it up with.

Cards will come with 1 Ghz core clocks and either 2 GB or 4 GB of VRAM.

 

We'll see these very soon because Newegg just starting clearing out their stock of HD4870X2's.  Only 2 models remain and 1 is already sold out.

Very nice card, indeed.

Image a pair of these in CrossFire. Aside from the need to keep a fire extinguisher handy, Crysis may finally be fully under control.

I think ATi are going to need their drivers worked out before that will happen

Last time I checked, their dual GPU cards didn't do very well in Crysis.

I have no problems with my 4870X2. I play 1900x1200 everything at very high (except shadows at high) @ ~32fps

Well, compared with the competition anyway

That's been fixed a long time ago. In fact multi GPU CrossFire does better than multi GPU SLI.


Here are some Toms' Hardware numbers:

Crysis - High, 4XAA, No AF, 2560 x 1600

HD 4870 - 5.6
HD 4870X2 - 23.1

Crysis - Very High, 4XAA, 8XAF, 2560 x 1600

HD 4870X2 - 17.7
HD 4870X2 CF - 26.6
GTX 280 - 10.6
GTX 280 SLI - 12.8
GTX 280 3- way SLI - 8.8
GTX 295 - 3.6
GTX 295 SLI - 0.1 (failed to run)
