OK.Now I am really confused here.According to techpowerup reviews which I saw the the gtx 460 768mb was only 1% faster than a 4890.Now I was about to replace my 4890 with the gtx 460 768mb and use my gtx 275 for physx.Now I was going to replace it for the simple reason that I wanted to play mafia 2 and batman arkham asylum with physx at high but I also wanted greater performance than the 4890.One of my friend says the gtx 460 768mb is extremely powerful than the 4890 but this review is saying the opposite.So is the 4890 to gtx 460 768mb a worthy upgrade?

That is not an upgrade. Maybe to a gtx470 or AMD 6950 but to gtx460 the gain in performance is really small(if it is..). Just a few fps.

If you can raise more money and buy a better video card that would be great.
Sell the 4890 and keep the gtx275 until you rise the money for a gtx470 or gtx570 witch is just a little better then a gtx480 but witch much lower heat and power consumption.

All three cards you have mentioned are very close to each other in performance. Save your money for a better upgrade. ;)
