8KCABrett - Tuesday, Aplink Well, every now and then I like to have a little shooter fun, and the GTS is certainly lagging behind in the new titles.johnjames - Monday, link I don't get it, I started reading this review and decided to get a 4890, then I read the following reviews:Īnd they all state the GTX 275 gives a lot more fps in all games bar Grid.POST A COMMENT 294 Comments View All Comments

In the meantime, we have another interesting battle at the $250 price point. We'll have to take a look at how such parts compare in the future along with SLI and CrossFire. The overclock on the AMD hardware is fairly modest, but does make a difference and the same holds true for the GTX 275 products in early testing. There will also be overclocked variants of the GTX 275 to compete with the overclocked variants from AMD. This is true for both AMD and NVIDIA parts. We still compare products based on their MSRP (which is likely the price they'll be back at once the rebate goes away). I much prefer the instant variety and mail-in-rebate offers do not make decisions for me. Could AMD have worried they weren't coming in at high enough performance late in the game and decided to try and throw an extra incentive in there? Either way, not everyone likes a mail in rebate. If you've got a 24" or smaller display (1920x1200 or below), then the Radeon HD 4890 is the card for you.ĪMD tells us that most retailers will feature mail in rebates of $20, a program which was apparently underwritten by AMD. If you've got a 30" display then either card will work, it's just up to your preference and the items we talked about earlier. So what to go with? Really it depends on what resolutions you're targeting and what the prices end up being. Add in the fact that NVIDIA's developer relations seem more effective than AMD's could mean more titles that run better on NVIDIA hardware in the future.

However, we have to factor in the fact that AMD driver support doesn't have the best track record as of late for new game titles. With these parts performing so similarly, and price being pretty well equal, the fact that AMD parts can be bought starting today and we have to wait for the NVIDIA parts is an advantage for AMD. At 2560 x 1600, it seems to be pretty much a wash between the two cards.Īt the same time, there are other questions, like that of availability. The 4890 tends to look better at lower resolutions while the GTX 275 is more competitive at high resolutions. On a pure performance level the 4890 and GTX 275 trade blows at different resolutions. The 4890, basically a tweaked and overclocked 4870, does improve performance over the 4870 1GB and puts up good competition for the GTX 275. The GeForce GTX 275 is a good fit for this price point, and is a good option.

This is pretty sweet for a $250 card, especially as many games these days rely very heavily on shader performance.

It often posted performance more in line with its bigger brothers than a $50+ cheaper part.

The fact that its worst-case performance is still better than the GTX 260 core 216 and in the best case, it can hit that of the GTX 280 was a plus for the GTX 275. We can't recommend prioritizing PhysX and CUDA over performance, and performance is where a GPU needs to compete. We did look at PhysX and CUDA again, and, while we may be interested in what is made possible by them, there is still a stark lack of compelling content that takes advantage of these technologies.

We also see some improvement from NVIDIA's new 185 series driver and get a new feature to play with in the form of Ambient Occlusion.

NVIDIA is competitive at this new price point of $250 depending on what resolution you look at.
