must be the 1gb of ram helping out, along with the massive clocks. compared to the 4870 clocks i mean.



that sounds like it could be transistor whining? my mates 8800 Ultra used to do it.

10 will stress it enough and wont cause damage overtime like furmark

hmm weird. i updated my BIOS coz Windows wasnt recognising my CPU, and if you look at my other bench screens, 3dmark thought i had a PIII

anyways got an extra 200 points. now on 20,307

Hey, I recently bought an XFX 4890 but I'm having a few issues...No matter what I can't seem to score over 8500 points for the GPU in 3DMark Vantage =\

Yeah it could be it. Should I RMA it?

Hey guys I finally made the switch. Sold my Gtx 260 and just picked up a couple XFX hd4890 XT's for $280. The only is I am completely clueless when it comes to overclocking gpu's can someone explain to me or direct me to a thread that explains how to overclock gpu's. I just need to know how overclocking certain things like memory or core can effect gaming. What can and should I overclock I don't know what overclocking the memory or cores does. Sorry I sound like a total noob I need to learn so I can get a decent overclock out of these babies. To anyone that owns these cards how far can I expect to oc them.

Oh btw my sig rig is gonna be given to my dad I'm in the process of putting an i rig together so these cards will sit in EVGA X58 mobo with i7 920 and powered by a Corsair 1000w PSU. Thanks in advance.
