Goes official tomorrow

According to some pictures we managed to get, Powercolor will launch two non-reference HD 4890 cards. As you can see from the pictures below, both cards should physically be the same and the only difference is that one of them will be a BattleForge edition card with EA's BattleForge game.

As these are a part of Powercolor's PCS+ series, they will be highly overclocked and we heard that the card should work at 950MHz for the core and 1,100MHz for 1GB of GDDR5 memory. We wrote about this card before and back then we knew that it will use a Zerotherm cooler with four heatpipes, but from these pictures we see that the card will have a separate memory and VRM heatsink.

The good thing is that AMD really wants to market BattleForge as a DirectX 10.1 game, and Powercolor's idea of bundling it with HD 4890 sounds great. It is a decent game and we are quite sure that it will sell pretty good.

The card should be announced tomorrow and we will have more details then, as the price and some other details about the card are still unknown.
