VisionTek Radeon HD 4890 900285 Video Card

Comment:
I'm very happy with this card. I got it on sale just before the HD 5000's hit the market, and for around $200 I got a lot of performance for my dollar. I can run everything I play at max settings, and from what I've seen, only Crysis can push this card hard. Search for HD 4890 reviews to see how it runs your favorite games, you should be impressed.The reason I went Visiontek was that I needed a card with dual-DVI rather than DVI - HDMI. I also wanted a card that utilized a better-than-reference cooling solution. Gigabyte offers a HD 4890 right now with a good cooling solution, but it has a DVI - HDMI set up, so I went with this card.The card comes factory overclocked at 950Mhz core and 1050Mhz mem, which is a very decent overclock. The cooling solution works so well, that I'm sure you could push this further if you wanted. The reason I like the cooling solution is because with the fan speed set to %50 it's as quiet as all my other fans, and it still keeps the card very cool at the factory OC settings.Visiontek has really put a lot of thought into this card's design, rather than just rolling out another reference card like most other brands. The great cooling system doesn't cost you a significant premium over other cards either, which is a very nice bonus. If you're shopping for a deal on a HD 4890/70 series ATI card, I highly recommend looking at the Visiontek cards. I'm very happy with this card, and hope Visiontek keeps up the good work with the HD 5000 series.I have to knock a star off my review only for the fact that you can get a HD 5850 for about the cost of this card nowadays, but keep an eye out for sales!
