ATI Radeon HD 4890 vs. NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275

Another Look at the $180 Price Point: 260 core 216 vs. 4870 1GB
With the change in performance with the 185 drivers from NVIDIA, we wanted to breakout one of the other most important price points. With lower resolution performance sometimes showing degraded performance and higher resolutions popping up with improvements, this price point is worth exploring.
Overall, it looks like the 4870 1GB is just a little bit faster in one or two games, but these cards are still pretty well matched after the new driver. the scaling differences really wouldn't change our minds either way. Both of these cards are good options.

BTW. 4890 is not a rebadge or something, it is an improved core (check xbitlabs), it has 3M more pixels and about 22 sqmm more diesizeVeteran - Thursday, April 2, 2009 - link
pixels should be transistors offcourse.....GamerBad - Thursday, August 5, 2010 - link
I am not sure what all the conversation here is about.I will tell you a bit my graphics card.
First,
I am an GeForce man through and through. I will tell you why.
I have never purchased a GeForce card that was faulty. Luck?
My current computer is running all Asus. Twin Ati Radeon 4890's ...
and so far.. I am on my third replacement graphics card. The first one had memory problems. Second was doa... third.. well.. this one overheats and crashes.
The Radeon may be better than the GeForce when it works. I really dont notice a difference.
So to me.. it is quality of craftsmanship that makes the difference.
Currently I am very unhappy with Radeon becuase I build my new system for this graphics setup. My Asus mother board dosent support dual GeForce only Radeon.
It seems I am stuck sending my graphics cards back and praying eventually I will get one that is not a lemon.
