    Hey everyone!

    My friend just bought a new nice gamerdektop for around 1450 dollars, and in the specs it says it has an ATI 4890 GPU, but when it arrives, it only got ATI 4800? We was like "?".

    But I just want to know: is the difference between those two GPU's really big? It could be lovely with scores/and or a comparison :)

    Kind Regards Peter

    EDIT: Whoops, I'm posting on the wrong forum, but can I get a quick answer please :)?

    Whats an ATI 4800? Do you have a link to this card? I don't think it exists.

    ATI 4800, would be considered the 4800 series, not really a specific card

    I'd say it's likely okay but if you want to feel safe download GPUz

    Mine does too. In fact, quite a few programs show my HD4850 as a "HD4800 series" including Catalyst, CCleaner and Windows Explorer.
