Sapphire HD4890 1GB Toxic PCI-e Video Card Conclusion: The Sapphire HD4890 Toxic edition adds a couple very nice bonuses to the already great HD4890 package, which makes it all that much more tempting. The Toxic edition of this card is not only in the upper echelon of cards in terms of stock core clock, it is also equipped with a much improved cooler, and extra power through the 8-pin + 6-pin power layout that should result in some fantastic overclocks. On top of all of this, the card is attractively priced at $259, right down the middle of the 4890 price range, which goes from $215 to $315 on Newegg. On this particular card, we knocked out an impressive 1040MHz core clock, beating out even the XFX XXX edition we tested nearly two months ago. I can only hope that the Atomic edition we are about to tear into can take us even higher. In reality, the only downside I can find to this card is the fact that it is still pretty much out of stock everywhere I have checked, with Newegg predicting new stock to be available on June 16th.
