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.

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/Produc...82E16814121308

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.
