ok I have 3X ATI HD4890 1GB cards. all 3 refrence design volterra regulators with software voltage control. all 3 cards are on par with each other oc wise with at leeast 1ghz core and 1180mhz dram. the difference: XFX, ASUS, Sapphire: RED PCB, RED PCB, BLUE PCB: 2X 6PIN, 2X 6PIN, 1X 6PIN 1X 8PIN. which one do I sell?? i AM going to sell one of them for sure simply because running 3 on this board causes instability and next to no gains. should I keep one RED and one blue and have a mis matching setup?? or keep the 2 reds and sell the blue?? im kinda stuck here! :fight13:

Sell the Blue. It will probably go for more anyway.

So let me get this straight; All three are essentially the same performance-wise, you've got two red cards that use dual 6-pin connectors, and a blue one that uses a 6 and an 8? Ditch the blue one.

Hmmm, is it in the realm of possibility to sell all 3 and invest in 58xx tech?

Agreed.
Sell all the cards you have and get a 58 series
