Just need personal opinion...

Hey all,

Been wondering about some gfx cards and need your help to compare them between each other

Gainward GTX 275
XFX GTX 260 Black Edition
XFX ATI RADEON 4890 XT

Which would be the best performing gfx card of these?
I might still change my mind about the XFX 4890 XT...
Regards

I would knock out the GTX260 altrhough its a good card and overclocked can beat stock GTX275/HD4890

but for the money I would get ethoir a GTX275 or a HD4890 both overclock well

power at ideal the GTX275 takes less than the HD4890, however at load the GTX275 takes more.

GTX275 tends to run quieter through, but the HD4890 is a cracking card particauly the XT

So you think i should stick with a 4890 XT?

EDIT: What about Gainward GTX 285? Will it run better than 4890 XT? (just a question but not buying it lol)

Been out of the loop for a lil' while but I'm sure the 285 is a waste of money as I think the 4890 when at 900-950Mhz core trades blows with it for less spondoolies (money).

you can overclock the GTX275 to be on par with or faster than the GTX285, and yeah I think its a waste.

I didn't say *that* exactly you could go for the AMD one for £135 and flash it with the XT BIOS same card after all
