Hiya,

I game at 1920x1200, i know i can easily game at a lower res with the 4890's but i love using the highest res i can

Hence for the small cost diff between the 'x' (uk i think the gap is down to 60-30ish sterling, for me it's a no brainer)

Thing is, as hardware comes out, the games get more demanding, i want something to last me a few years

Heck these bios flashed 4890's are around 5yrs old, ok i abuse them on the flashing/oc front but these have been great cards lol

Can run sh5 fine with no jaggies but it's the FX explosions that really kill these old cards (i work around that for the moment with different mods) also i rename the .exe to AFR-FriendlyD3D.exe and run cat on afr friendly option and get great fps increase

If the new gpu lasts as long as 3yrs running my games on high settings i'll be a happy bunny

I bet within that time, there will be games that call for even more gpu grunt

Can't stop progress hehe

Thanks
