I picked up a 4890 last week. Wanted something a little more powerful than my 4850 and was going to get a 4870 but then I saw this and decided to get one. Wound up costing me $250. Very pleased with the performance thus far.

thepizzaman · May 1, 2009

hm... can ya send me one? i'll give ya a 3870 for it :D

sygnus21 · May 1, 2009

You asked how much a 4890 is compared to a 285, and that price is more expensive than a lot of 285's.

thepizzaman · May 2, 2009

well i know that

but....... for what a 4890 costs.... its the best bang for your buck :D
and isn't a 285 and 295 dual gpu's on the same card?

Everlong · May 2, 2009

A 285 is just a revised version of the 280, and still a single GPU card, but the 295 is a dual GPU card

I hardly think 4 (3.9) frames is "far in the distance".

I do apologise. The difference is 6 FPS not 4. I must be going blind.

Still, it is not a huge difference when you consider the core clock increase of 17.65% and a 23% memory clock increase only equates to a 16% performance increase, not to be frowned upon though.

I was running Furmark last night and at stock speeds I was getting 90 FPS but I then overclocked my GTX to 730/1662/1300 which is a 12.6% core clock and shader increase and a 4.66% memory increase.

After overclocking I was getting 120 FPS which equates to a 33.3% performance increase.

EDIT: I found a power consumption graph. The 4890 uses less power overclocked than a GTX285 at stock.

Here's the avarage price between the two cards...

GTX285 - $351 (Avarage) - gtx 285 price - Google Product Search
HD4890 - $258 (Avarage) - hd4890 price - Google Product Search

Price to performance...ATI HD4890
