Simple mistake here on the second page; idle power for the 4890 should be 60 watts not 160 watts if we go by the statistics on the slides on the first page.
Originally posted by Phoronix on Page 2The maximum board power consumption for the Radeon HD 4890 is 190 Watts while it should idle at around 160 Watts. The Radeon HD 4870 had a maximum power consumption of 160 Watts, but it idled at 90 Watts.
Thanks!
Edit: Actually, idle tests are showing it at 160 watts. Maybe the slide is wrong?Last edited by GreatWalrus; 02 April 2009, 01:18 PM.

Well you have to deal with 2 drivers currently:
a) play a game -> fglrx
b) watch tearingfree video -> ati/radeon
Basically fglrx is a joke, but R600+ has got no 3d support in mesa at all currently, not even enough for compiz. You can at least watch videos with xv on Nvidia and when you disable composite (maybe a bit stupid restriction) then you get vdpau h264 video accelleration too (tearfree without composite).
