XFX ATI 4000 Series Round Up
Synthetic 3D Benchmarks
Published: 14th April 2009 | Source: XFX | Price: £130 - £330 |
3DMark is a popular synthetic gaming benchmark used by many gamers and overclockers to gauge the performance of their PC's. All 3DMark runs were performed a total of 5 times, with the highest and lowest results being removed and an average calculated from the remaining 3 results.
Results Analysis
No surprise here with the HD4870X2 taking the lead in everything we threw at it. Interesting there is not double the performance of the 4870 despite the card having 4870 cores and double the memory. The HD4850XXX performed very well until the resolution and image quality was increased. The 4870X2 certainly showed it's prowess at the maximum resolutions, perhaps best exemplified in 3DMark 05 scoring over 8000 marks more than it's closest rival the HD4890XXX, which in turn outpaced it's forbear, the HD4870XXX.
Let's see if this transfers over to our real world gaming benchmarks.

Ah finally.
Awesome round up.
Seems like that the 4850 would be a good choice.

Great round up Rich. That must have taken a lot of work to put it all together 
All you need now is the 4890x2 to finish off the 48xx series

You have been a busy boy! Nice work matey, kudos as ever :thumb:
Nice one Rich!!
Good to see some up to date figures. Just look at the CoD results. The X2 is quite a few frames over doubling the 4870 FPS.. Drivers and memory obviously helping but at least the theoretical power has actually happened in one game.

Nice roundup though, interesting results on the 4890
Great set of reviews.
Just a little typo on the first page, the spec table has two "Max Resolution Analog Vertical" rows with different values. but no "Max Resolution Digital Vertical" row.

Ta sorted.
Great review mate, looks like ATI have a great partner in XFX, Nvidia must be ever so slightly disappointed
Wonder if they have approached Sapphire as a return salvo
Now that really would make things intresting.
Nice review man. However, one thing I have no bleeding clue about is how these cards sit compared to older generation cards, in my case the 8800GT?
I've been out of the loop for a bit too long..

The 4850 would easily beat the 8800GT.
The 4870 is on a par with the GTX260 thereabouts, The 4890 is on a par with GTX275 and the 4870x2 is on a par with GTX295. Hope this helps.

That's wicked, cheers. I think I'll be heading towards a 4870 and a new screen sometime soon
