Sapphire technology has just announced a new variant of the SAPPHIRE HD 4890 Vapor-X sporting 2GB of onboard GDDR5 memory - offering users even more versatility from this series featuring SAPPHIRE Vapor-X cooling technology for quiet and cool operation.
Like the 1GB model announced at Computex last month, the SAPPHIRE HD 4890 Vapor-X 2GB model is a SAPPHIRE original design. It has SAPPHIRE’s Vapor-X cooling module on the GPU together with a heatsink and profiled fan venting heat out of the case. With core clock speed of 870MHz and 2GB of DDR5 memory clocked at 1050MHz, this model not only has additional memory but is also quieter and faster than competing products based on the standard reference design. The larger memory size and faster speeds deliver higher performance in rendering tasks and increased frame rates in games - especially at high resolutions and where complex textures are used.
SAPPHIRE’s HD 4890 Vapor-X models feature four output connectors all on the bracket – Dual-Link DVI, VGA, HDMI and Display Port. Any two of the four output options can be used simultaneously, giving maximum flexibility for connection to different display types. An HDMI to DVI adaptor is also included for those who wish to use a pair of DVI monitors.
Pricing it yet TBA.
