Today, Asus has claimed that is has perfected the Radeon HD 4890 and the RV790 GPU, with a custom-planned video card that it screams the EAH4890 TOP. The EAH4890 TOP has everything you'd anticipate from a mention Radeon HD 4890: the GPU and shaders are clocked at 850MHz and came with by one GB of GDDR5 storage that runs at an effective speed of 3.9GHz (975MHz quad-pumped).Where the Asus EAH4890 TOP disagrees is in its structure.
