both cards are just about the same la.....based on real world games is more accurate than using vantage or any other benchmarking software...its amazing why radeon 4890 is using ddr5 but still almost on par with gtx 260 with ddr3 memory in terms of real world performance....either card u buy will give u great performance though but i prefer gtx 260....at least it consumes less wattage during idle

the vantage score is similar bcoz of Physx.

see 4870 and gtx 260 score and u'll know why.
and im sure when the 275 came out the score will be better than 4890.

PhysX? nah...i off it when doing 3d mark vantage..even with out PhysX i can reach 11k...maybe if i on it i can reach 12k of the GPU score....

bro where were u when i needed u to step out to share your expert opinion, this topic was like few pages back.

alot of them, just simply follow the hype and jumped into conclusion without further reading more in-depth articles about this matter. some even assume all stutterings are the micro-stuttering. sad

physx doesnt help the graphic score but the cpu score.

Err..i dunno y it does help me...maybe beacuse of my slow cpu?

thats why the gtx260 score is better than the 4870.

oh..u mean total Pscore...i tot GPU score...

my mistake..

if u disable Physx when running Vantage im sure the score will be around the same.

maybe..but i bet gtx260+ gpu score more higher..somemore if max oc both the card...

lemme google that abit.

it doesnt matter does it ? since both cards performance wise is about the same eventhough physx is off or on but nvidia get the advantage being able to do physx in games like mirror edge

for us veteran pc user it doesnt make a difference but to those newbies its kinda misleading.

thats what it affect.

lol..i juz post mine there...

lol tht ss looks familiar to me .jk of coz i noe its frm me,posted way bck ago when my proc is still at stock and running on stock hsf,but i oced the gc a bit.now is other way round ,heavily oced the proc,but the gpu remains at stock most of the time

hahaha hell no...i will never ever let go my record buying baby so cheap easily yeah need 2 change mobo if i ever plan SLI which i won't...nah i'll won't be jumping i7 so fast...the most also only Q9550 which finally drops less than 1k

yes its both urs.

see where the Physx affect the score which is the CPU Test 2.

and Skyline
i think u should ur 1st dual gpu solution now.

LOL...4890 vs GTX275 at Guru3d is damn april fool...
