    Hesitation between 2 HD 4890

    For a moment I hesitate between 2 HD4890:

    1. Radeon HD 4890 1GB Superclocked Edition
    2. Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB

    The first is clocked at 950MHz and 4200Mhz for GDDR5, while the second 850MHz and 3900Mhz

    What makes me hesitate is the difference in price. I wanted to know: Does this difference in power justifies the price difference?

    It is an overclocked version, why not a 4890 Vapor-x? Seems they are super. Or if you stretch a bit of a 5850? The cheapest I would say the graphic card DX11 "being there".

    Yes I loved but unfortunately I can not "stretch" XD plus they raise prices. And for the Vapor-X, much of noise for nothing, I saw a test on the cooling, not great (I'll try again)

    Yes but at what price? HD5750 are not enough powerful (for Arma II, Crysis Warhead, Assassin's Creed 2). As for the HD5770, the 4890 is slightly more powerful but long term I could make a Crossfire 5770 when I have money but I know what I want.

    hesitates for long .... take a 5770, for a price identical to the 4890 offering you similar performance with the advantage of DX11 compatibility.

    If you still want to wait to have ESP to take a 5850 (see 5870) I too can not advise you to go to a 4850 which enables you to play all the games High quality and save for the 58XX Series
