Diamond Radeon HD 4890 1024 MB XOC

Our regular readers are already familiar with this Diamond Multimedia solution from an earlier review that is why I will only provide a graphics card shot here:

… and a photo of its GPU and video memory chips:

The specifications are the following:

MSI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2x1024 MB (MSI R4870X2-T2D2G-OC)

The last eight graphics card participating in our today’s test session is yet another MSI product:

Radeon HD 4870 X2 is based on two RV770 graphics processors working at 780 MHz frequency, which is 30 MHz higher than the reference card speed:

The memory chips are the same: Qimonda GDDR5 working at the default frequency for Radeon HD 4870 X2 of 3600 MHz:

The final screenshot sums up the graphics card specifications:

The declared power consumption is 286 W. Therefore, the card is equipped with eight- and six-pin power connectors. The cooling system generates tolerable noise only until the fan speeds up by 30-35%, which is never really the case in 3D mode.
