Hold on... 8800gts 512mb, 9800gtx, 9800gtx+, gts250 were all the SAME card, on the SAME core (g92)... = Rebrand.
The 4890 is NOT a rebrand... it is a modified rv770xt that uses 3 million additional transistors and improved voltage regulation on die... = NOT a rebrand
I would have expected something like this on [H] or on XS, but not on HWC.
