Congrats ATI, the 4890 is a strong performer! So much chatter about what constitutes rebadging; at the end of the day it's performance that matters. 4890 does a great job for the money.

The GTX 275 performs well but lacks excitement IMO. Nothing surprising or exciting; we've already seen a 240 shader enabled gpu on a 260 style interface (x2). If anything, the 285 receives strong competition from both 4890 and 275. Makes little sense to remain at it's price point. It's price should be $300.

Times are tight. Cheers to competition...

First you say you aren't concerned about the 4890 being a rebadge because at the end of the day it's performance that matters, and then you said the GTX 275 lacks excitement because "we've already seen a 140 shader enabled gpu on a 260 style interface (x2)," whatever the significance of already seeing that is.

Aren't these contradictory statements?

BTW. 4890 is not a rebadge or something, it is an improved core (check xbitlabs), it has 3M more pixels and about 22 sqmm more diesize

pixels should be transistors offcourse.....

Of course it's contradictory, it's a red rooster statement. Then the 3m they use to just crank a few more mhz is the rework.. LOL
Pay homage to the red and hate green and spew accordingly with as many lies as possible or you won't fit in here - been like that for quite some time. Be smug and arrogant about it, too, and never amdit your massive errors - that's how to do it.
Make sure you whine about nvidia and say you hate them in as many ways as possible, as well - be absolutely insane mostly, that's what works - like screaming they can take down nvidia when the red rooster shop has been losing a billion a year on a billion in sales.
Be an opposite man.
Of course it's contradictory. Duhh.. they're insane man - they are GONERS.

p=2 As we can clearly see, in the cards we *r*ested
p=11 particles are one of the most difficult things to do on the CPU *thanks*

Drivers? test table says 8.12 hotfix but we're at 9.3/9.4 now...

I can't believe how biased anandtech has become.
I've checked all other review sites and in all the GTX275 was winning by a pretty big margin, here it actually looses to the HD4890.

Now I'm not a fanboy for either, I've had 2 nvidia graphic cards and 2 ATI cards, the current one is ATI, but this bias thing can't go un-noticed.

Some investigators must be summoned to deal with anandtech, this has been going for quite a while now.

That's different then what I've seen. I dunno what sites you visit but all of the ones I've been to show them just about neck and neck or the 4890 just edging out the 275.

Personally I give the edge to the 4890 due to it's high overclockability.
