MY GOD ! you have core i7 and still you are getting low scores in Vantage specially your cpu score.I think you have to check your system again.no doubt that your system is much faster then mines....anyway congrats on your new ATI card.check your settings in bios and disable all those settings like intel speedstep etc which hinder your overclock.

quite a strange combination :) kahan 2x4890 (almost 50k investment) and kahan 2x9800gt just 20k :D ...
either put in 2x9800gx2 or 2x275gtx ... 4890 is a waste of money in this time frame with much much better options out there!!!

dude MONEY is the issue at the moment not that i am geting the cards tommorow or something , but still .

gts-250 evga is also an option , but 1 card will come now and 1 later , gota get the cpu as well , 4890 is also good value for money , it comes close to the gtx-285 in most games .

thanks Nasir bhai, this corei7 processor is really an excellent one as it reached 4 GHz at 1.25 vcore with prime95 stable, my 3d06 score is with 4 GHz and remaining with 3.4 GHz,

red one is worthless shit. yellow one is good but not too good. Green is worth it if 2 paired together. If he wants something even more powerful then he should buy a GTX285 now and Pair it with another when the prices drop.

Edit : HD4890 trading blows with GTX285 just wow -------> http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/video/display/gtx285sli-hd4890cf.html

Usman bhai do post some benchies from crysis, crysis warhead, farcry2, GTA4 and others if available. It would be real nice if u post it in mega benchmark thread so that others can compare the stuff and have an idea about performance of different systems.

And are u enjoying the card?? what games u playing now days?

Crysis Warhead --- 4890 CF = Min 20, Max 30
---------------- GTX 260 OC = Min 14, Max 26

Far Cry 2------ 4890 CF = Min 55, Max 78.4
-------------- GTX 260 OC = Min 26, Max 85

GRID ---------- 4890 CF = Min 80, Max 142
--------------GTX 260 OC = Min 79, Max 129

nice man :D
now its useless to quote other websites once we have our own data base ...
n keep in mind those xbitlabs system is i think based on i7

Spoiler: show
Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition processor (3.2GHz, 6.4 GT/s QPI);
Asus P6T Deluxe mainboard (Intel X58 Express chipset);
Corsair XMS3-12800C9 (3x2GB, 1333MHz, 9-9-9-24, 2T);
Maxtor MaXLine III 7B250S0 HDD (250GB, Serial ATA-150, 16MB buffer);
Enermax Galaxy DXX EGX1000EWL 1000W power supply;
Dell 3007WFP monitor (30", 2560x1600@60Hz max display resolution);
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 64-bit;
ATI Catalyst 9.4 for ATI Radeon HD;
Nvidia GeForce 182.50 WHQL for Nvidia GeForce.


also keep this thing in mind that those reviewing sites r not final verdict ... n have few errors some tines ... like compare the score of gtx 285 in these two pics
Spoiler: show



so plz dnt quote those sites with such HARD N FAST rule ... every benchmark can be a refrence n cant be said its final verdict or base line ...

I mean, look at the benches opethian, gtx 260 is compared with 4870, and here core 2 duo with gtx 260 is beatin/or is equally good as core i7 with 4890 CROSSFIRE!!!thanks but ill stay away from it as much as possible. That review = fail!!

check again i have added two refrences from two different reviews with same hardware ... review written by same ppl Alexey Stepin , Yaroslav Lyssenko
n just see have u ever seen any website review with farcry2 fps as high as 100+ ... either we pakiz (whether hey live in pak or aboroad) r too smart :D or otherwise
magar ubuntu point is not to disrespect any one ... point is dnt be impressed by any review u read ... i will trust these (noobs if we compare them to otherwebsites official reviewer) rather than i trust those guys with CHITTI CHAMREE :p

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
