Following pictures of the GPU, a look at its specification, and pre-order listings down in New Zealand, we've now been dealt an even bigger hint suggesting that AMD's Radeon HD 4890 is imminent.

Novatech.co.uk, a UK-based etailer, is listing PowerColor's Radeon HD 4890 1GB with a price tag of £229.99. That's around £50 more than PowerColor's Radeon HD 4870 1GB, and pretty much what we were expecting in terms of pricing.

What's interesting is that Novatech claims to have 100 of the cards arriving tomorrow, presumably in the hope of fulfilling orders sooner rather than later.

However, we've been expecting the card to arrive sometime in April, so we're putting this down as an error on Novatech's part, for now. Either way, AMD's Radeon HD 4890 is just around the corner, and it's very likely to be priced around the £230 mark.

Looking at the big picture, the important question is how much will NVIDIA be charging for its 4890 competitor - the GeForce GTX 275 - and what will its arrival do to the pricing of the preceding Radeon HD 4870 and GeForce GTX 260?

surely the recent price drop of the existing cards is to make way for the current *new* line up?

i am a member of the novatech forums and one of the managers told us about that accidental listing, but he said they have stock but aren't releasing any specs until they get the go ahead from AMD.
Gibbo Gibbo Gibbo.. all his fault ;)
Surely for that price xfire 4850 is faster?
