I tried doing that, for some reason one of the threads on both orthos runs kept spitting out "ERROR affinity error" or something along those lines.

That's normal, it doesn't mean anything really. The tests will continue as they should. It should only happen occasionally though for the most part (it's kind of random but it doesn't effect the test).

How long might it be before we start seeing after market coolers on the 4890's? like the sapphire 4870.

Who knows, but you can purchase aftermarket cooler for one with a stock cooler.

The 4870 coolers should in theory work on the 4890's

As far as I know only full coverage waterblocks are the only thing that don't work.

Sorry for the off topic question but im getting ready to order my 4890 and i cant deiced between the Asus and the XFX or does it even really matter? thanks

for anyone wanting to know, it will indefinitely crossfire with other 4k series cards.

[Russtynailz]

did it do any better than trifire 4870's when you added the 4890?

Congrats to all new owners... I wish I waited just few more weeks for these cards instead of my 4870x2. Oh well, I guess this is how it goes and I should get used to.

Hey man, is there anyway if you can run a 3dMark06 or may be some benchmarks with that set up? I have a 4870x2 and I was wondering how would it pair with a 4890 performance wise compare to 2x4890s. Thanks
