... Half an inch too big...
For all the guys who went 48xx instead of gtx2xx, just wondering why?
I keep seeing people knock the GTX 275 when, at the ~$200 pricepoint, reviews exhaustively show that it generally outperforms the 4890.
In all honesty, it looks quite similar to the AMD vs. Intel battle in the processor market right now. NV has the performance crown, but ATI has more solutions in the lower-end market. Although really the 260 and 4870 are evenly matched, the 250 and 4850, the 275 and 4890 as well.
Because some of us didn't want to pay $500? for a gtx260 and $650 for a gtx280.
How does the GTX 285 stands vs HD 4890 (Single card wise) ? I'm looking into buying one of them
The 285 is superior to the 4890, but costs more.
Thanks sir.. so I guess I have a winner

That site looks like the 4890 and 275 trade blows back and forth... not exactly "exhaustively outperformed"
http://www.hardocp.com/article/2009/01/08/bfgtech_geforce_gtx_295/11
and hardOCP says that the 295 vs HD4870X2 are trading blows more often then not.
I would say this is the first generation of graphics cards that there was not a clear cut winner.
Now, the HD 4870 is about the same as Nvidias GTX 275 and in some cases faster..
You mean HD4890? 4870... i highly doubt that.
It's no surprise that this generation more people went with ATI, they delivered and kept the prices low which is what they needed to do to get some of that market share back. Congrats ATI, you did a hell of a job.
It would be quite a problem for nV if ATI could ever fix their drivers/fix their reputation of poor drivers.
I didn't say exhaustively outperformed, I said exhaustively showed, as in after looking at probably in excess of 30 reviews of the card, the majority put the GTX 275 ahead of the HD4890. Not by much, not in all games, but generally ahead. Somebody in this thread even said the 4870 outperforms the 275, which is blatant misinformation.
sadly with that 2.5 Opty cpu you arent even coming close to fully utilizing that gtx260 especially if you are playing below 1920. the difference between using my 192sp gtx260 with my 2.6 X2 and E8500 is quite large even at 1920.I was between the 4870 1gb and GTX 260 216 55. In the end the 4870 only really had price going for it, the 260 seems to be close or faster in most benches, runs cooler, uses less power and is quieter than the 4870. Choice was easy, bought the 260 yesterday and I'm LOVING it.
I guess you mean at idle? under load the gtx275 uses much more power than the 4890 according to most reviews.eVGA GTX 275. it was on sale for about $200 a month ago.
got it mainly for power consumption benefits over the 4890.
well worth it, no regrets.

Well i am trying ati and i dislike it, No physics or i heard they had some buy they were crappy. I am going back to nvidia and getting a 260
no PhysX? or "Physics"?
PhysX already prove itself worthless, other better physics engine out there use CPU instead... so dont even consider on that part..
also, "you heard they were crappy" or "you have feel its crappy" .. and whys that..?
I am interest on why people switch between brand when they both runs really well...
much better.Guess I should update the sig eh
my bad yes physx, and idk it just that a felt nvidia run better. It fells like this ati card is missing something

Which would be a wise upgrade?
4870 or 4890?
My resolution is 1980 x 1080
it depends on the rest of your system. if you have a fast dual or quad core then of course go with the 4890.Which would be a wise upgrade?
