This card has ran everything I've thrown at it. Crysis, GTA 4, NWN 2, Empire Total War, just bought every game I have runs maxed out with no frame loss or stutters. Definately a card you should not overlook for the price.system specs>>> Phenom 2 x4 940 3.0 ghz, 6gb kingston hyperx ddr2, XFX HD4890XT, 1TB Sata 3.0 HD, Cons: Not really a con but the card is LONG. Make sure you have the room in your case for it. from Newegg.com Pros: Running in SD on a RGB connection to my 42"hdtv this card runs every game I could want to play exceptionally. Cons: Terrible ATI tech support. from Newegg.com Pros: this card is great if you consider the price that you are getting. Cons: this card tends to overheat, so please use fan at 100% on load. the extra 25 MHz did not make any difference. from Newegg.com Not saying I am an ATi fanboy... My next card will be an nVidia unless if ATi comes out with a beastier card (I am into benchmarking). I was able to boost my card to 925 core/ 1025 memory. Not as good as I wished for an overclock, wish there was an easy way to do voltages. from Newegg.com Pretty large size. Other Thoughts: Antec 900 case, GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R, G. SKILL Trident 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 2000, Intel i7 920,ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED 110mm, GIGABYTE GV-N285UD-1GH GeForce GTX 285. Manufacturer Response:Sorry to hear you are having problems. from Newegg.com My card has not had any heating problems. I manually set the fan speed to stay at just 32% and it keeps the card 50C idle, 65C load, which is very good for such a fast GPU. Also you have to love XFX's support and Double Lifetime warranty. I know that if I ever need some help, it's there. from Newegg.com Cons: Poor performance, cheap construction. Other Thoughts: This is the 2nd card I installed in my build as I RMA'd the first one because of poor performance...well the 2nd one was poor also so I got a refund. It was intended to replace my PNY gtx260 core 216 but unfortunately my 260 outperformed this 4890. I scored 2500 more 3dmarks with the 260 and also in World in crisis only averaged 29 fps while my 260 ran at 49 fps. from Newegg.com Pros: Going to make this short and sweet becaseu I have only been testing it for a few hours:1. Good for the price (I got it when there was a special $199)2. from Newegg.com Go figure. Very happy with the framerates and performance this card delivers in the games I tested it with:Crysis (vanilla & Natural mod): HighFallout 3: Max settingsLord of the Rings Online: Max settingsFlight Simulator X: Max settingsFan noise is barely noticeable on Auto settings. Set to 100% however makes it feel like I'm in a wind tunnel. The door hanger is nice touch. from Newegg.com Pros: with this card in crossfire, my system can run anything that i throw at it. XFX gives you everything you need in the box, which is nice. Cons: This thing is Extremely Hot. from Newegg.com
