NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 Versus ATI Radeon HD 4890

 

AMD and NVIDIA usually do not launch graphics cards on the same day, but today is a new day and that is exactly what has happened. AMD is announcing the Radeon HD 4890 graphics card, which is powered RV790 GPU and arch rival NVIDIA is releasing the GeForce GTX 275 graphics card.

 

Quote: "When it comes to the Radeon HD 4890 it is hands down the fastest single-GPU graphics card that AMD has every produced. It performs significantly better than the Radeon HD 4870 1GB and runs cooler and uses less power at idle. There really is not much bad to say about the card as it is also priced lower than the GeForce GTX 275. Add in the fact that it has already proven itself to be an overclocking monster with a core clock frequency of nearly 1GHz with the stock cooler and no voltage adjustments you have a clear winner for all the Radeon fans out there..."

"The GeForce GTX 275 was also a fantastic card to benchmark and game on for the short period of time we had with it. NVIDIA gave us the public Forceware 185.65 drivers less than six hours before the launch of the GeForce GTX 275, so it was a mad dash to re-test all the benchmarks to make sure you have the best data to make a purchase decision. Speaking of drivers the new Forceware Release 185 drivers are pretty slick as not only do they feature performance optimizations, but they also introduce new features like Ambient Occlusion. That said the GeForce GTX 275 was a great card and in the majority of the benchmarks it was faster than the Radeon HD 4890 and the Radeon HD 4890 OC, which is impressive. With an MSRP of $249 it might just be worth waiting for as it won't be hitting store shelves till April 14th, 2009..."
