Sapphire brings the power of graphics ‘supercomputing’ to enthusiasts with their Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 card. Built on Sapphire's original Vapor Chamber Technology, this card will bring the benefits of Vapor-X cooling - quieter and more efficient cooling - to a wider range of users.
The Sapphire Vapor-X Radeon HD 4890 card has 1GB of high-performance GDDR5 memory, clocked at 850MHz and the GPU core is clocked at 950MHz. Supporting AMD CrossFireX technology, two high-speed connectors on each card allow two or more cards to be used together for enhanced performance when installed in a CrossFireX compatible motherboard.
The Radeon HD 4890 incorporates the latest ATI Avivo HD Technology for enhanced video display, and features a second generation built-in UVD 2 (Unified Video decoder 2) for the hardware accelerated decoding of Blu-ray and HD DVD content for VC-1, H.264 and MPEG-2 codecs, considerably CPU load. The card’s HDMI and DisplayPort connectors supports multi-channel audio formats (up to 7.1) and combines audio and video output on a single cable for direct connection to an HDMI ready or DisplayPort ready display. Support for DirectX10.1 ensures optimal compatibility with all DirectX10.1 applications and enables stunning 3D graphics and shading effects in the latest games.

Pros: replaced with RMA, now its working at least. Powerful card, definately beats my 4870 512mb. Got over 18,300 in 3D06 with a PII 3.6ghz, Asus M4A79T Deluxe, 4GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600, this 4890, and a WD 300GB VR.
Cons: I'm getting a lot of VPU recovery problems.. happens almost twice a night.. and temps don't go above 68*C from what I can see. Fan speeds at 66-70% gets a bit loud but cooling is adequate, but not as great as I expected it to be. Used Catalyst 9.5, 9.6 and 9.8 all with similar results. 9.6 being the most stable, but I still get errors while gaming that cause it to go to VPU recovery. I honestly believe the stock HSF on the 4890s does a better job cooling.. My case temps have NEVER been so high.. no air gets exhausted out the back. It actually disperses it into the case and its heating up my CPU a few degrees. Not very happy about that.
Overall Review: Trying to contact Newegg to see if they will let me return it for another 4890, probably with the stock HSF as it does a great job of exhausting heat.. the only side effect is its just a bit noisier.. but I could keep that at 55% fan speed and never go above 58*C on my 4870. 2 eggs, cause this is my second one and I'm still not happy, the card works.. but it's not that stable.
