Albatron Jumps to ATI Side

Following the trend set by XFX and Gainward, it seems that Taiwanese company Albatron has decided to follow suit, apparently believing it to be a better business move to sell AMD/ATI-based products rather than staying an Nvidia-exclusive partner.

To that end, they’ve decided to quietly release their first ATI card from Albatron is a Radeon HD 4890 named Radeon HD 4890-1G. This model will be all-stock, clocked at 850 MHz for the GPU, with 256-bit memory interface and 1 GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 3900 MHz. The card should hit the market sometime soon with a suggested retail price under $250. We can expect further Radeon products from Albatron, and competition is always a good thing for consumers.
