Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 1GB Review

Fallout 3

For these Fallout 3 benchmarks we decided to use one of the more graphically intensive portions of the game: a gameplay session which starts at the exit from Vault 101, through Springvale, over a small hill towards Washington and then back towards Megaton. Within this session two ants were fought near Springvale. All in all, the gameplay time is about 6 minutes.

When it comes to Fallout 3, the HD 4890 simply rules the roost. This is especially true if you take into account the minimum framerates displayed across the board. What is amazing is that with this performance, the HD 4890 is able to compete blow for blow with the GTX 285 in some cases.
