April 6th is gonna be a big day for AMD as they are going to launch a slew of new cards. As we have told you back in February, Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) is slated for April release and the confirmed date is now 6th of April. Interestingly, we also heard RV740 is pulled in from May to early April release so AMD will probably launch the new cards on the same day.

Radeon HD 4890 (RV790) is still 55nm based and is basically a higher clocked version of RV770. The RV790 card comes with 10 layers PCB and is 9.5" long with a new dual slot cooler. We told you previously, there are 2 versions; standard and OC edition. The OC edition will come later in April. The price for standard 512MB edition is US$199 while the price for 1GB OC edition is US$299.

Radeon HD 4750 and 4770 is 40nm based and we already have seen a preview of it. Price of HD 4750 is expected to be around US$99 while HD 4770 is priced at around US$119. Apparently, the yield is so good that AMD decided to pull in from May to early April release to give GeForce GTS 240 and 9600 GT a run for its money.

How do the 4770 and the 4750 compare to the 4850 and 4870 in terms of performance?
The HD4770 looks to be a nice "little killer". Performance wise I would guess a little behind the HD4850. The card should be replacing the HD4830 altogether.

4770 is inbetween a 4830 and 4850. The 4890 should likely be around GTX 280 performance, depending on the clock speed.

The 4770 is priced too high. Thats only $10 off the price of the 4850. $10 gets you 160 more SPs and double the bus width.

The 4770 is to have GDDR5.

That would give it a mem. bandwidth similar to that of the 4850. The card will be a little slower but run much cooler and have less of a power draw. This will be a really good card for a silent PC.

That's true.. preformance compared with the price these cards are sweet.. but if you have a 4850 or 4870 or another card with similar or better preformance, then these new once are nothing to go to crasy about in that matter cause you won't gain to much with these instead imo.. but exept that, these cards look very nice.

Doesn't make too much of a difference with GDDR5.

Now, now, let's not get carried away. If there's no Nvidia how will we get price drops from Ati?

So ATI can get away with selling $600 4890s?
