Analysis of Results:
It always amazes me how Crysis can bring a system to its knees. What we see across the board is as expected the ATI 4890 provides a consistent domination over the older 4870. In every case the 4890 comes out ahead and does so by a minimum of 3 to 10 fps. At the street price that AMD expects the 4890 to be selling at the 4890 will be THE card to have if you are an ATI fan.
