[roadie]

Hi Guys,

Really should have bought one of these last week, but didn't. Any idea when they will be available again?

Thanks

We have an outstanding PO for a large quantity, which was due to land a few days ago.

I am chasing now .

Awesome. Also an ETA on the Asus 4890 would be appreciated.

Thanks

I'm more keen to get the Sapphire 4890 Atomic. The XFX BE uses stock cooling and gets VERY hot according to reviews, where as the Sapphire uses specialist cooling.

Any news on when you may have the Sapphires in Scan?

[roadie]

Any updates? Would be nice to have a card before the weekend if possible!

Whats the difference between the Black and the XXX, is it just the Black is 1000/4000

[Jasp]

From what i understand the XXX is a higher clocked version of the standard 4890 at GPU 900mhz and the Black is a higher clocked version then that at 1000/4000, problem is they have used the standard reference cooler on a in effect overclocked board so the thing sounds like a bloody hairdrier.

Well, I've just pre-ordered the Black so hopefully it'll do good over the 1GB 8800GT Alpha Dog I got at the moment, now just gotta wait for it.

Quite a step up, you should be more then happy..

What reolution are you running? although the 4890 will beat the 8800GT at any res (1Gb on 8800gt is wasted due to 256bit bus and GDDR3)

1900/1200 on a 24" screen, I know the 1GB was wasted on the 8800GT but it was a bargain at £50 a year ago

[Bitemarks666]

very nice price esp for last year

Just got a message from scan that it's gonna be approx' 3 weeks now for stock to come in even though I was told they'd be in this week

Hi - it's worth the wait - got mine a couple of weeks ago. A bit loud - but not as bad as people make out + I can set mine to 30% fan and it is fine and quiet (temps go to about 75C, on auto fan goes to about 50% and temps to about 60C).

Mine will overclock to 1050 core and 1150 ram. Destroys games at 1920x1080 includign Crysis and AOC DX10 (with God Rays on!).
