The R4890 Cyclone

MSI is working on a special HD 4890 card that should feature, Hi-C cpas, Solid State Chokes NCC PSF solid caps and of course non-reference cooler. The card should be called MSI R4890 Cyclone and we expect it to be quite an overclocker.

The new MSI HD 4890 will use Hi-C caps around the GPU which should enable it to have clean and stable power for the GPU, and it should imply that this one might be a very good overclocker. The rest of the known features include Solid State Chokes, also known as the anti buzz chokes, and NCC PSF solid caps.

The card will be cooled by MSI's well known SuperPipe cooler which uses 8mm heatpipes, and according to the picture which we managed to get, it will have four of these.

The card should be ready in time for Computex show, and this might be another card with a GPU clock set at 1GHz, but it is still early to talk about clocks as the card is still under development.

Here are some pictures of the MSI R4890 Cyclone, which will show its face at Computex show in Taiwan.

Well it sounds interesting to say the least. I haven't looked at any reviews on the 4890's yet... I wonder how they compair to the 4870 x2.
