1055t oc only to 3.4 oh well. that's what i get fer being fancy. it could be the gigabyte mb rearranges my memory timings and that's what's causing problems. won't even boot higher. and at that speed i get system freezes during gaming.

The 2nd 4890 was purchased for 125 inclusive of shipping and fees, I'm thrilled. For $125 I get to upgrade my old 4890 I paid $150 for into something that outperforms a $400 5870, 295, and beats 5830s ($440 on sale) in crossfire. The six core 1055T is in house/chosen for it's abililty to morph...

Thanks for your reply. I've already ordered the new 4890, found one used on ebay for 125 inclusive. Maybe I'll buy the 1055t and do the review I want myself. I assume you can disable the cores in it? I could do a 555 vs. 955 vs. 1055t with xfire vs. one 4890 in my polluted, non fresh Windows...

I see. I have a difficult time finding benchmarks on line that show my card, usually older cards or better cards. I guess my conclusion that the difference was > i5 750 vs. 1055t was mostly inference. Two reasons for the $80 550 ... a. it can possibly turn into a B50 x4 and b. for the $100 +...

Crossfire? I ditched my old q9550 set up so I could crossfire my 4890, which is a better result dollar for dollar than the new cards, fps wise. The main consideration for my new setup came down the availability of full 2x 2 PCIe x 16 lanes in the motherboard. The 930 x58 set up was too...
