OcUK GeForce 275 or XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 XT?

izzop · 13 Jul 2009 at 19:16

Hi All,

Thought that this might happen... I'm reading to many posts and articles :confused:

As a result I'm not sure which graphics card to put into my new PC, do I stick with my first choice which was the OcUK GeForce 275 or do I swap it with the XFX ATI Radeon HD 4890 XT?

Any thoughts and advice would be appreciated!!

Unable to see the woods for the trees,

Firstly, sorry for posting on the wrong section,

whoops

But, I can also get a free game with the XFX http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-126-XF

The PC will be used for work but also games e.g. Call of Duty (On-Line)

I also plan to run dual monitors as well.

do you really need all that power then?
A 4850 would be more than enough.

Well I've just found and read the following... http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-275-review-test/1

I think I'll stick with my first choice.

Seeing as he plans to run dual monitors, I doubt it.

custom pc magazing have stated the 275 is faster than any 4890 they have tried

275 anyone?

Can't believe people are saying the 4890 is faster. It's fast but the 275 is a little faster and has more consistent performance across titles. Plus it's got Physx, CUDA and loads of other crap the 4890 doesn't have.
