Well I had to jump in somewhere as last generation of cards I bought were the vanilla 260's. They aren't the 216 versions either. This was sometime last summer I might add. Well I take that back, last cards I bought were the 9800gt's but that was strictly for bot points and have already sold them. I couldn't see waitin another generation so I bought these. Goin to milk them then dump them for the next gens.

I hear ya as I spent way more money this month than what I anticipated. These and the RAM set me back. Waaaaay back. Will have to lay low for a bit and stack some cash. I should have enough to hold me over.

I'm looking forward to seeing the scores. Starting to feel like the 4870x2's are out dated now. Where in the hell are the 4890X2's anyway.

With the 58xx's coming soon they might just wait to do x2's on those.

Very tempting I had the same cart checkout setup a week ago really contemplating trying out CrossfireX with three 4890's.
I guess I'll wait to hear your experience with these! Please do post.

Looks like I might have to hold off benchin these puppies due to my RAM set back. :(

I swear it never fails me. Everytime I order somethin, somethin better comes put or somethin I have been waitin for. For example:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121308
They didn't have this the other day and I sure the hell would have ordered these instead. What can you do. Take my Sapphires and be happy as I am not goin thru another RMA!!!!

Wow, so sorry to hear you missed the ASUS cards they do look sweet.
Dude, I can't really wait to see how your tri Crossfire rig works out the only thing holding me back from getting three of those sapphire cards like you is that I can't find anything with 3X HD4890's to see if the scaling doesn't suck as bad is it does when doing 3X HD4870's.

Yeah, that's defintely going to be one cool card.
Anyone seen anybody running three HD4890's yet? With some benchies? :(

Man I wish.
I just looked at the bot the other day for multi GPUs, looks like I could nab some points with a third or 4th 4850 :)
Just split up the CF, and no chance in hell of making top 20 on a 4850. Guys are running 8-900 and higher GPU clocks :s. Guess im going to need to do a volt mod *sigh
EDIT: Wow just looking at the specs on that ASUS... I did not know they were even sold at 850MHz. ASUS, I hate to admit, is the card to buy though in theory. They designed the VRMs that made the 4890 possible. These things are so fast, I actually though that they all came at 1000MHz GPU clock.
Are they the only one that comes with software for vgpu control?

Thanks Nip, but actually I meant reviews of 3X HD4890's in CrossfireX setup. :( Can't find anything so I'm really looking forward to your input.
