^^
Not a really big difference.
Will get a more clear picture its done on newly released games.

I don't think it's wise to compare HD4890 CF with GTX295. And technically, GTX295 is the fastest single card available in the market today.

 

[comp@ddict]

^^WHy do u say that?
2xHD4980 costs the same as a GTX295 after all. So they fall in the same price range too.

 

[desiibond]

^^ in that case, 2x GTX275 costs same as2xHD4890 and is much more faster.

 

[comp@ddict]

But 2xGTX275 is what GTX295 is ^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[ionicsachin]

Double the Gun Double the Fun....
I think 2x(Lower then GTX295 and affordable too) GTX shud also do the job of beating GTX295

 

[topgear]

Let's see what happens with 2x GTX 275 in sli mode ? That should be a real comparision with HD 4890 as according to nvidia GTX 275 offers 30% more performance than HD 4890.

 

[desiibond]

But 2xGTX275 is what GTX295 is ^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

no dude.

just like 2xHD4850 beating most of the cards, 2x GTX295.

Believe me the tide has turned slightly.

 

[comp@ddict]

We can only wait till some site does the review. Let's see.

We might be in for a shock, or a surprise.

Obviously, Why are u comparing like this dude? if u wanna compare 2xHD4890 then compare it with 2x GTX 295 !
I dont understand why you compare 2xHD4890 with a single 295GTX ??!!

 

[ionicsachin]

Another Nvidia AMD war

I'll do that as soon as I get a 2xGTX275 review.

I just compared what was available at that time. Don't get me wrong now.

ehh dude...i think he said u to compare it with 2XGTX295!

coz single GTX 295 ll cost as much as two 4890.

same as the case with HD 4870 and GTX 280.
still 4870 costs only 13k and GTX 280 costs 26k. 4870x2 costs similar to GTX280.

so GTX 295 shud be compared either with 4890X2 or CF.

But for same pricetag always a single card setup is better.
lets wait n see if X2 is better than CF as the last time. With their last X2ie 4870 X2 they made clear that they have minimised micro-stuttering, maybe SLi and X2 can be a better solution.

 

[comp@ddict]

^^ U mean internal-SLi/CFx can be a better option.

 

[dOm1naTOr]

@comp@ddict
thats wat weve seen till now
2*4870 was beaten by 4870X2. Also X2 had higher clocks per GPU too.
Also w/o the need for ny CFx/SLi bridge communication will be faster, and in X2 versions they make lots of improvements to eliminate microstuttering which is there in descrete SLI/CFx.
another advantage is lower power consumption and reqd no. of slots.

But its really dissapointing to see 4890's performance...only slightly better than 4870. And shader count is the same.
Hope HD 5xxx isnt disapointing.

 

[comp@ddict]

Also X2 had higher clocks per GPU too.

Negative. Clocks were same.

But its really dissapointing to see 4890's performance...only slightly better than 4870. And shader count is the same.

HD4890 has 3 million transistors more than HD4870.
And with Core Clock of 950MHz and Memory Clock of 1100MHz(4400MHz effective), the card beats the HD4870 by a wide 15-25% margin.

 

[x3060]

yup, am waiting for the 5xxxx series too

 

[comp@ddict]

With DX11, most interesting would be 7GHz GDDR5 with a 512-bit memory interface.
