Sorry, I know it's a bit out of context, but I didn't mean on 3dmark01 I meant benching Vantage and gaming benchies.

LOL Nah man no need to apologize I'm the idiot that's asking in the wrong place just seeing the HD4890 coming in to conversation makes me think about 3 of them and the performance since I can't find anything on the web with this data I'm kind of frustrating.

That's why I can't wait until nip get's his sapphires going. The scaling after two HD4870's was horrible and I'm hoping that it's different for the HD4890's.

I don't own any HD4870's the last ATI cards I owned were a pair of HD3870's well I still have one I gave the other one to my brother. My statement comes from looking at reviews over and over two HD4870's scale rather well adding a third or a single HD4870X2 and adding another HD4870 the scaling is hardly worth the effort.

Nvidia cards starting with the 8800GTX's started getting somewhat good when scaling three cards and the 200 series cards are doing rather well in TRI-SLI when partnered with core i7 processors, but I haven't seen good results on the ATI side of things. Maybe I'm wrong, but I would love to be wrong as I would like to get three HD4890's since they're so well priced ATM.
