Best-performing card in the $300 price range ; four DVI outputs let you connect up to four LCDs

Worst power efficiency in its class

Even if it's a relative power hog, the Sapphire Radeon HD 4850 X2 brings so much speed and utility to the table it's hard for us to recommend another midrange 3D card. Only the particularly power conscious or those who play games with known multichip ...

Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 2GB Vapor-X Graphics Card

By Shane Baxtor (tweaktown.com)

We've recently seen Sapphire ramp up the HD 4890. We have a look at a 2GB equipped Vapor-X model from the company today. Introduction

Nice overclocker!

By QuiddlerX (newegg.com)

My greatest qualm with ATI cards is the catalyst drivers! Recently, upgrading to catalyst 9.9 drivers, my computer started to blue screen!!!! Horrible feeling, and after downclocking the card to default speeds, same problem. After uninstalling and running...
