Ati 4890 vs Nvidia 275 vote

the 4890

Why? there arent even retail versionsof the 275 out there yet.. how can anyone possibly make an educated vote on this poll at this point in time.. Its pretty clear that both cards are almost identical.. if and when the 275 is released on mass we will almost certainly see the same thing we did with teh 260 and 4870 last summer. Take your pic, flip a coin, same old story.

Looking at the benchmarks, there is no contest, it's the 275.

I would probably go with the 4890, but the gtx 275 isn't a bad choice either. I have owned both nvidia and ati products and have liked both. The deciding factors for me are price and future plans. If you have an SLI board and want to SLI in the future or you are a fan of nvidia, go with the 275. If you have a crossfire capable board and want to crossfire in the future or if you want a slightly better price/performance ratio, go with the 4890.

The price of the GTX 275 is a bit more expensive. I'd have to go with 4890.

PhysX is 100% useless and will NEVER amount to any tangible difference, those videos you watched were false.

If you can hold out, the smart thing would be to wait until the DX11 cards come out.

yeah, that all sounds about right and would prefer to buy ATI and support the underdog anyway

especially as they have the (better - maybe) cheaper card


Cheers

reason HD4890 is cheaper and can be alot faster than even a GTX285 basicly its bites

So, listening to professional revewers who make a living at grading cards is stupid, but listening to random stories from people you meet online who may not know a thing about comptuers is the way to go? Logical fail good sir. I got a good laugh from this I must say, damn those phoney reviewers makng *** up eh! I want to listen to uncredited randoms who bought both cards in order to become their own reviewers... far more believeable source as they are not influenced by 'the man.' Damn people for useing viable sources for thier oppinions! Stating thins like that makes you come off as a raving conspiracy nut by the way, though you are certainly not alone in the paranoid thoughts about authority figures (skepticism is good, blindness not so much)..

Both are fine cards, if one is too dim to get thier 4890 working as well as your 275 (or at least close enough not to be 'destroyed') they are not worth the energy to listen to.

If you want to buy both cards go ahead and make your own review.. but enough with your conspiracy mumbo-jumbo about reviews (granted some are idiots, but if you are unable to rank the validity of a review based on sources, settings, etc. you shuld not be on the internet.)

To add, I feel dirty for posting in a thread that was useless in april...

The GTX 275 performs slightly better than a 4890, but in no way destroys it. However, for the price of that card you could get a Toxic or Atomic edition of the 4890 which both best a slightly factory overclocked GTX 285, and damn near run neck and neck with it when both are overclocked. That said your card is a great on still and if you SLI it later you will be in gaming heaven. Just try to keep things in prospective, none of the cards will ever destroy the other because at most we are talking about a 10 paper FPS difference that equates to basically nothing in gaming experience.

Have any of you PhysX fanbois ever tryed to run it on the same card thats doing the rendering? It sucks (at least in UTIII). It will drag your framerates to sh*t, if your going to use an nVidia card for PhysX, make sure its not the same one your using to render the game.

The GTX275, I've caught so many ATI fans in massive lies, and there must be a reason they constantly feel the need to do such a thing.
Then there is the massive entire added value thing, plus the gigantically superior Nvidia drivers and CP, and ccc is a navigation nightmare and lame and a system hog, and ati has a piddly penny to spend on their driver team and game developement, and is bleeding a billion on only a billion in sales every year.

I can't stand amd/ati, nor their little economist minions, so I'll pay twice as much for an Nvidia card, because it is well worth it, and I'm not a grungy pauper crybaby trying to scratch every last penny out of a failing company's in the red bottom line then yapper about how much money it makes in some e-insane quack-- since it might destroy them (not like lowball ati fans give a crap if it does destroy ati, which it might).
If you love a company so much, pay them well for what they produce ! (Oh that's right it's all about proclaiming penny scratching for your own wallet).

Nope sorry, I am paying NVIDIA TOP DOLLAR because they ROCK !
Ok ?
Got it ?
I'm not rich by any means, but then I'm not a communist *rick either !

Don't even get me started on the power consumption crap talk either. If you're buying a high end vidcard and yer ragging about 25 or 100 watts, you probably should be shoveling the snow instead for a few extra bubble gum bucks.

-So like, it ain't even close.
I've seen 275's with TWO free full $50 games included as well, but never the 4890.
God I hate ati and their minions. I hope they lost the poll, but I had to vote for Nvidia so I didn't see the results.
YEAH mark me up!
