Sapphire HD4890 Vapor-X 2GB

Next on our list of tests is a new one here at the Club.  Called Unigine, this benchmark aims to be a vital part of any overclocker's toolbox.  The beauty of Unigine is in its flexibility, as it will allow you to benchmark under a variety of rendering schemes.  Find out more about Unigine here.

For the purposes of our testing, we ran the benchmark in what I considered to be a typical setting for the potential HD4890 customer, at 1680x1050 with 4xAA and all other settings maxed out:

Though the Render mode is reported as being Direct3d10, the benchmark actually does support 10.1 options, thus we enabled them for the test.

The stock Vapor-X hits 39.5 FPS, with a score of 995, which compares to 41.3 for the Toxic and 43.2 for the Atomic.
