who the heck says 4890 is comparable to gtx 285 is seriously retarded....its only on par with gtx260 and probably beaten by the new gtx 275 anyway

lol its only leading like 6-7 frames per-game and i am talking about 4890 at stock speed....and u are paying like 100 bucks more for that than the 4870? as i seen at garage sales they are selling like 900+ ....think about it

lol 10.1 or not doesnt matter much....if it matter so much nvidia would have already gone to dx10.1....this card is suppose to be a response to gtx 260 core 216....it did better than 260 alright but not by a huge margin....probably gtx 275 would surpass its performance again....anyway its pretty close between the 2 cards either way

very true....go with the cheapest and overclock it

not to mention nvidia cards consume less wattage compared to the radeon cards

since u own both gtx 260 and 4890....do u think the performance increase on the 4890 worth the money? and izzit much faster than the gtx 260?

temperature is the issue here though...my current case is pretty cramp and my objective was to make my system as quiet as possible....piumiu what other games are u having problem with gtx 260 other than L4D?... i had problems with source engine games too in the past mainly stuttering problems...seems to be running fine on my 8800gt though

lol i cant stand the noise....my 8800gt already driving me nuts when i am gaming....would not want another graphic card that sounds even louder or as loud as my current card

lol i just choose whichever thats give me more performance and have a quiet fansink....those 2 are important when choosing graphic card IMO....and not to mention low idle wattage

i only own an ATI during the 9800pro days where it pwn nvidia big time in terms of performance...those were the days

personally i would take gtx 275 if i you want a more silent card but higher load temp....4890 is good too but slightly more noisy but lower load temp....also must take into consideration is your casing space....gtx 275 is friggin long at 10.5 inch

but u got to consider the amount of noise it generates..i am pretty sure OC edition will be even louder than it already is....i think should wait for gainward to come up with a goldensample version

well its quite obvious OC should generate more heat...hot = fan spin faster?

well my friend using 4850 golden sample...very quiet and keeps the temperature around 60 degress region at full load...i guess any non-reference cooler should do a good job cooling the card

LOL...thats the idea of stress testing...so we should use quake 3 time demo as stress test perhaps? since furmark is way too demanding for your oh so high end ATI card...seriously wanna overclock use aftermarket coolers...4890 reference cooler is just not good enough

u arent running any games...what do u mean 60c on load? ....btw theres quite a lot review...take a look at guru3d website

the card already cool down by then....trolling? LOL ....whatever dude...i have the right to post my opinion...u dun like your problem

well do u think its worth it for that extra 10-15% performance increase(depends on the game) worth RM200-300? i dont think so but thats up to u to decide...i am pretty much happy with the gtx 260 until the next big thing comes out which is the gtx 300 and Radeon 5000 series
