I think like the gtx 260 (216) 55nm and the 4870 it will be driver implementation which swings it between the two. I vote for a 4890/gtx275
We have gone over this before. The 4890 won 12 out of 14 times. Don't make me post numbers guys.
Hey yeah good point, but then again i would rather have a 4890 anyday, not worth the heat and driver problems. Have you seen the overclock on those things! they reached 4800mhz on the ram and 1ghz on gpu in the review i read, and that was just using CCC imagine how much further you can push it.

the GTX275 is a joke compared to the HD 4890, when are they going to be added I wonder?
nVidia has the top-end bracket but ATi without a doubt has taken the ~$250 enthusiast range by storm,
and with time hopefully we'll see what they have to offer somesort of 4890 x2
Haha, I love how threatening that sounds. GUYS! DON'T MAKE BE BLEEPING POST THE GERRRD DEEERN BENCHIES!
AnandTech: ATI Radeon HD 4890 vs. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275
Bam, proof right there anandtech was the only review site to use those drivers no one in there sane mind would use these. the nvidia threatening reviewers point i do not understand at all. what can nivdia do to them? like really. now looking at every other website that had placed a review the 275 pulled out ahead. the hd4890 was still recommended due to the 10/20$ price difference. but over all the majority reviewed the 275 as the faster product. now anandtech is not the only reliable source for reviews.
this is a direct line from the page itself "As we can clearly see, in the cards we tested, performance decreased at lower resolutions" and they tested that on a 285. the 182 drivers do support the 275. no one in there right minds including you zmatt would use a driver that diminishes performance over 10% just to be up to date.
hadrware canucks is very reliable aswell. looking at this Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 896MB Review - Page 22 - Hardware Canucks the 275 beat out the hd4890 in 32 of the 57 benches. as you can see incredibaly close game. at 20$ cheaper the hd4890 should be the recomended card but here speed and performence is what matters.
This seemed to be the biggest example, but we saw flattened resolution scaling in most of the games we tested.
Not only that, but they used 8.12 in the tests. What are we on now, 9.3?
