    Kinda not worth it though.... at least IMO. Especially if you already own a 4870 x2. I can't see it being much faster as the 4890 is just a higher clocked 4870. Unless they have some trick up their sleeves.

    After seeing that youtube video above that article is contradicting what was stated. The guy was clearly hinting at a 4890X2.

    they always make a dual-gpu solution of the newest 'single-gpu' flag card.

    zero-cool: Yeah... but with the current 4870 x2 just slightly cheaper than the GTX 295 IIRC, i don't see them releasing the 4890 x2 at about the same price.... unless they kick the 4870 x2 to the curb, which would probably piss off quite a few owners of the card.

    Indeed it would. If this would be true I would hope that ATI or the board partners allow for a step up program so that us 4870x2 owners can part exchange our cards and maybe pay a little extra for a 4890x2 but this is highly doubtful.

    Hehe that would be a nice deal, but if it is anything like Evga prices then I would probably pass :)

    This 4890x2 is bad for the 2nd hand market, and the value of the X2 for sure.. but could also be nice for them who might consider quad ( though it has been proven again and again quad isn't working that well :x )

    Wouldn't matter anyway if the drivers aren't good for it. I mean how long has the 4870 x2 been out and the drivers still aren't straightened out for it.

    zero-cool: uuh... it's not very often, if ever anymore, that you see a manufacturer stray even slightly away from the reference board design. The idea of a dual-GPU card being released without ATi having a hand in the matter is absurd. Hell, i think the only serious modification to a reference design that i've seen lately was i believe Asus made one version of one video card (note: ONE type) that was flipped around.... so the GPU and memory and everything was on the not-so-usual side that we've grown to know and love. And i think that was back in the NVidia 7-series.

    Sneakers: not sure what you mean "if it's anything like eVGA's prices". in eVGA's step-up program, your card doesn't lose value. If you decide to step up from say a GTX 280 that you paid say $400 for, to a GTX 295 that is listed on eVGA's website for say $550, and your GTX 280 is shown on eVGA's website for $300, your card is still worth $400 for the Step-Up program, no matter what e-tailer or retailer you purchased it from. all you'd have to pay is the $150 difference, and the shipping.

    ATI has said they have no interest in even attempting a 4890X2 anytime soon and they actually "forbid" any 3rd party from trying.
