Doesn't look like anything special aside from being a 1GB card and having the custom cooler.. I assume you were going with the open box sale to save some money?

I noticed the 4890s have come down in price A LOT.. XFX has theirs right at $200

Yeah just wanted an opinion before getting it and saw it for pretty cheap.

Ended up going with a Sapphire 4870 I believe it was for around the same price.

Wait for a package deal to come around if you can. I was able to find a combo with two 4870s on Newegg that ran me $190, and then I sold one of them on eBay for $150 <_<

Ffffuuuuuuuuu

Well I have all the rest of the computer laying around except for a video card so I got that one since it seemed like a pretty good deal. Just looked and it was a 4860 though.
