HD4890 27% faster than HD4870 in 3DMark Vantage GPU Score

The german website Hardware-infos is reporting the first HD4890 3DMark scores. According to a report by Fudzilla today, HD4890 is said to have more efficient shaders than RV770 chips. And this looks likely to be true from the reports by Hardware-infos. It is reported that in 3DMark Vantage the HD 4890 reached 10,996 points  in performance mode. The pure GPU score stood at 9801 points. While in 3DMark06 HD4890 reached a total score of 16,096 points at 6,155 (SM2.0) and 7,551 (SM3.0) Part points. All results were calculated on a Core i7 920 (4x 2.66 GHz). When compared with their testing of HD4870 1GB on a Q9450 @ 3.6 Ghz, the HD4890 on a stock Core i7 @ 2.66Ghz scores 2200 points more than HD4870 on a overclocked Quad core Q9450 @ 3.6 Ghz. Although its not a very pretty way to compare performance, but still HD489o is 27% faster which is impressive.
