Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 2GB Vapor-X Review
Hardware Canucks have posted a review of the custom Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 2GB Vapor-X graphics card.
Let's see what they had to say:
"Without a doubt, the Sapphire HD 4890 2GB Vapor-X is a good all-round card which can really pump out the framerates in literally any game on the market today at any resolution. That in itself though speaks volumes about the current state of the PC gaming market’s influence on the design and construction of both current and future GPUs. When a sub-$300 card can play new games (and upcoming games) fluidly at extreme resolutions with both AA and AF enabled, one really has to wonder if there is any reason at all to consider higher-end cards at all. This in effect displays exactly what we have been saying for a while now: when it was released, the HD 4890 hit a sweet spot in the market and it can still claim to be king of the hill when it comes to the price you pay for performance."
Although the 2GB of memory is fairly useless, this is still a fantastic all-around graphics cards. Having said that, the new DX11 cards from ATI are just around the corner, so I would highly advise that you wait for the new generation.
