Most likely a glitch. It makes no sense to recommend it only most of the time.

There's most likely some basic option that makes it go straight to the 4890.

Am I the only who HASN'T been told I need a 4890?

I'm guessing that your input for "DX10 gaming" makes it think you're going to be playing the latest games (obviously) and gives you a high end card.

This seems to work perfectly to me.

Basically, if you select DX10 gaming, it's the 4890.

Not "basically"

It really is that way
Go on it and select DX10 gaming only

It will tell you to get a 4890
