SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 4890 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E OC

Item Name : SAPPHIRE VAPOR-X HD 4890 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E OC Display Card

Price : RM 959.00

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.

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 significantly 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.

Overview

Vapor-X Cooling

Vapor Chamber Technology is based on the same principles as heatpipe technology.  A liquid coolant is vaporised at a hot surface, the resulting vapor is condensed at a cold surface then the liquid is returned to the hot surface. The recirculation process is controlled by a patented wick system.

SAPPHIRE Vapor-X flattens the whole system into a slim chamber – which in the graphics application is mounted in contact with the surface of the graphics chip.

Black Diamond Choke

Choke is an important component of the graphics card. By working with the component engineer, Sapphire’s patent pending choke is 10% cooler and offers 25% more power efficiency than a normal choke. The graphics card will be more reliable and save energy.

Full Solid Cap Design

Improved reliability and better overclocking are possible by using only high-polymer, aluminum capacitors which posses far superior characteristics than regular aluminum capacitor for a longer product life. When operational temperatures drop by 20 C, the product life span is extended by a factor of ten, when the operational temperature increases by 20 C, the product life span only decreases by 10%.

Redefine HD Gaming

  1 Compared to previous generation ATI Radeon™ graphics processors.
  2 ATI CrossFireX™ technology requires an ATI CrossFireX Ready motherboard, an ATI CrossFireX™ Bridge Interconnect and may require a specialized power supply.
  

Go Beyond HD Video

• Unified Video Decoder 2 (UVD 2)
  UVD 2 frees up your CPU for other tasks so you get The Ultimate Visual Experience™ for even the most processing-intensive content, including VC-1, H.264 and now MPEG-2. Also, take full advantage of Blu-ray functionality with dual-stream, picture in picture (PIP) capabilities1,2.

• Accelerated Video Transcoding (AVT)
  With ATI Stream technology, owners of ATI Radeon™ HD 4800 series graphics cards can help accelerate the conversion of standard and HD video into multiple formats for use on differing consumer electronics devices. The ATI Video Converter, designed to enable GPU transcoding of HD video streams, is currently available.

• Upscale Beyond 1080p
  Watch the hottest Blu-ray movies or other HD content at full 1080p display resolution and beyond3.
• Enhanced DVD Upscaling
  Watch standard DVD movies in near high-definition quality with DVD upscaling. The GPU uses post processing algorithms to enhance standard and low resolution videos and movies on your HD display.
  
• Dynamic Contrast
  Dynamic Contrast automatically adjusts the contrast and brightness during scenes to consistently deliver a crisp, vibrant picture.
• HDMI
  Enjoy the latest audio technologies using HDMI with 7.1 digital surround sound support. Also, xvYCC support allows the user to enjoy a wider range of color when connected to a capable HDTV.

  1 HD capable monitor required
  2 Blu-ray drive required
  3 The ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series GPUs can upscale video display to 2560×1600 on dual-link monitors which is almost twice the display
  resolution of 1080p displays.
  

Break-throughEfficiency

• Dynamic Power Management
  ATI Radeon HD 4890 GPUs deliver high performance when needed and conserve power when the demand on the graphics processor is low.
  
  
• Energy Efficient Manufacturing Process
  Third generation 55nm chip uses the industry’s most energy efficient manufacturing process.
