Well my 4870 just sold... so I'm trying to decide which 4890 to get. The msi is cheap, the asus has voltage tweak, and the xfx has the best warranty. Any opinions? I'm leaning towards the asus at the moment.

I went with the msi due to the factory overclock on them (and they were quite inexpensive)

I just bought the Asus for the voltage tweaker

MSI wouldn't be a bad choice either, I currently have one of their OC version 8800GTs and it SCREAMS.

Are there any 4890s with a blue or black PCB yet? I haven't seen any but I assume there will be at some point.
