INTRODUCTION
The HD4890 is AMD’s latest GPU that is aimed at the enthusiast market. It is positioned just above the HD4870 1 GB and its main competitor of course is the Nvidia Geforce GTX275. In this review we are taking a look at the HD4890 from HIS: the HIS HD 4890 Fan TURBO. As the name implies this is not a regular HD4890-card. Instead HIS has overclocked it by default to give us a bit more performance right out of the box.
We’ve taken the HIS HD 4890 Fan TURBO and compared it to both the HD4870 1 GB as well as the GeForce GTX275.
ABOUT HIS
HIS has been around since 1987 and has always strived to produce the highest quality graphic cards in the industry. Whether they have succeeded or not are of course up to you buyers but we have reviewed a lot of their products the last few years and almost always been impressed with the quality of their products.
Their headquarters is in Hong Kong but they sell all over the world. They are one of AMD’s Authorized 1st Tier AIB partner.
One of their first big successes was with the Excalibur line of video cards back in 2002. These days they are quite famous for their IceQ, IceQ II, IceQ 3 and now IceQ4 series of cards which uses some very nice and quiet coolers on the cards.
