XFX 4890 ZDDC versus ZDEC

Tiltowait · May 21, 2009, 01:54 AM

First of all, this is my first post so...hi!

Anyway, I have a question:
What are the differences between the Radeon XFX 4890 ZDDC and ZDEC?

Both fall neatly within my current price range, and I'd like to know exactly what I'm buying before I buy it. As far as I can tell, the ZDDC has a 900 Mhz core clock, whereas the ZDEC has an 875. I understand the ZDDC has some sort of TV input which the ZDEC does not have. I've been hunting them out on newegg, so here are the links:

ZDDC
ZDEC

Interestingly enough, XFX doesn't list a ZDDC as a product they sell. They do list a ZDD7 that looks the same, though.

Anyway, thanks for any help you can provide!

First off, welcome! Second off, I am thinking that the only differences is that the only real difference is the core clock and perhapes that number indicates that they came from different batches when they were made. So other than the core clock they looke exactly the same. That or Newegg made a typo and they really are the same card

EDIT:

They are also the exact same price so I don't really think that there is a difference.

I noticed they mention Double Lifetime warranty on the ZDDC not sure if thats standard for them or not and the other model lists a free game with purchase

I know my 8600GT xxx edition has a 'Double Lifetime Warranty' but I'm with you there im not really sure if that is standard. Having the XXX edition and all there isn't really a comparison since XFX has special rules for their "special edition" lines. However, getting in touch with the people at XFX to ask them if both of these cards are under that same warranty system wouldn't be a bad plan

Double Lifetime is guaranteed on ALL REGISTERED CARDS except recertified ones from Newegg. Gotta love XFX.
