AMD announces 1GHz GPU, the air cooled Radeon HD 4890


AMD has announced the first factory over clocked air cooled GPU to reach the 1 GHz mark, the ATI Radeon HD 4890. While this mark may have been reached by overclockers using other graphics processors, the HD 4890 would not need any complex cooling solutions and works fine with the air cooling unit that comes standard. Also, since overclocking voids the warranty (even if it is hard to detect), the HD 4890's warranty should prove beneficial.
