ATI HD 4890 compares to 4870 as 9800 Pro to 9800 XT Performance Wise

@ 2009/02/20

Performance increases of the graphics card that is projected to be called ATI Radeon HD 4890 over the existing Radeon HD 4870 1GB should not be high as the difference between two products will be increases of clock-speeds. In case the graphics card designer decides to release ATI Radeon HD 4890 X2, performance gain should be modest as well.

"This is exactly the same situation as in the case of transition from ATI Radeon 9800 Pro to ATI Radeon 9800 XT back in 2003, performance gain will not be massive," a person wished to remain anonymous said.

you already have a 4890 if you overclock it?

Comment from geoffrey @ 2009/02/20

So should we all buy the 4870 and mod it to 4890?
