That's not all features on high. That's all features on Low.
The RadeonHD 4890 is significantly more powerful than the 4850, and is capable of driving Shadows on Ultra, Water on Ultra, Reflections on Ultra, and moderate Ambient Occlusion in 1680*1050.
The 4890 should be able to drive Shadows on Ultra, Water on Ultra, Reflections on Ultra, and balanced or OGL 2.0 / DX9 Occlusion in 1920*1200.
At these higher resolutions, your computer will largely become CPU dependent more quickly than it will become GPU dependent. So if you've got something like any Intel Core 2 Duo or older Intel processor, or any AMD Pre-Socket AM2+ Athlon 64 X2 processor, chances are these higher resolutions are just out of reach.
If you think there is another issue at hand, a quick and simple test can be found in the Unigine Heaven 2.1 benchmark: http://www.unigine.com/download/
Under Catalyst 10.8 the OpenGL API and DirectX API's should give similar scores in the benchmarks. If they do not, there is likely another problem on hand.
