Performance Notes
These are not marginal gains. There are times when the card doesn't absolutely cream the 1GB HD 4870 but at other times this HD 4890 keeps up with the best of X2s and GTXs. It's also plain that a good chunk of this redesign has been in improving the antialiasing performance, something of a bear for its predecessor.
