Sapphire HD 4890 Toxic/Vapor-X Review

Testing:

BioShock is one of the creepier games you can play. The building of a perfect Utopian society undersea gone horribly wrong. Its inhabitants driven mad with the introduction of tonics and genetic modifications. Now Rapture is just a shadow of its former glory with little girls looting the dead of what little they have left while being shadowed by guardians known as "Big Daddies" It is a demanding game that will make your hardware scream for mercy. This First Person Shooter allows for an infinite number of weapons and modifications to provide a unique experience each time it is played. The environment as well as the story line will wrap you up for hours on end.

The GTX 275's and GTX 285 consistently delivered a higher level of performance than the HD 4890s until the 2560x1600 resolution where the performance differential non existent compared with the GTX 275's and the 285 holds a slim margin of 6 fps over the Toxic and 11over the lower clocked Vapor-X. Once the 4890s are overclocked the performance favors the Toxic and the level of performance between the 285 and Vapor-X is identical.
