If you had £130 today what card would you buy

that chart is very misleading in my opinion - at what res - and what games ?

put it this way - I had some money to spend and I was umming and arring whether to get an out of the box overclocked GTX285 or a 4890

I chose the Asus 4890 :)

overall benchmark covering a load of games and different resolutions...

Sure the 4890 is moderatly faster in a good number of games, but overall when you test with 20 or so games theres not a huge amount in it.

The 4890 is a lot more then 4% faster.

That chart is very deceiving, as the TWIWMTBP games flatter the GTX260 to the point of embarrassment. It would be nice if the GTX260 was as good as that makes it look, but sadly its not. Overclcoking only widens the gap and you quoting percentages is rather misleading.

That chart has a lot of 200 FPS VS 300 FPS type results. That makes the GTX look like its 30% faster when really it makes no difference. The 4980 has a lot more meaningful wins like 35 FPS instead of 20. Another point is that set of results (if its the one I think it is ) was had using pre release drivers with no 4890 optimisation.
