4890 to 260/275?

ah well, it's not all good. Using the latest nvidia drivers, I get massive flickering on yahoo mail for some reason. I believe someone mentions desktop flicker in another thread so need to check that out.
Let#s not turn this into a flame war shall we. I simply stated that I wanted to change my card for certain specific reasons and that so far I am satisfied that those reasons are fixed when using a nvidia card. Anno runs perfectly now too.
It can't very well be EA's sloppy coding if the game runs perfectly on other hardware though why that is the case is a matter dealt with on other bickering threads.
I also never asked anyone's opinions on what was best, my op was asking what kind of 260 I would need to equal a more expensive 275. The decision to swap had already been made and was not up for discussion.

How is performance in shift affected with 4890 for you? I have two and get 70-90FPS while driving at maxed settings, so surely you must get a nice 35/40?
Maybe you could buy a 2nd 4890 (from me
) as I haven't got to use the PC for more than 3/4 hours since Uni began again.

I linked to a graph in the NFS thread that someone had posted showing the frame rate being all over the place over a race on a 4890 but steady on a 275.
If you note above, I have already purchased a 260 on the MM and from my experience last night running the game with FRAPS, the frame rate NEVER dropped below 65.
I know ATi have raised the issue with EA but there is no update on a fix afaik and I want to play the game now, not in three months time. The Anno bug has been on 3 successive driver releases now and I'm not a fan of the CCC panel.
