If the GeForce GTX 275 comes in at around $250 US as well, it will be 29% cheaper than the GeForce GTX 285 while it will also be 25% more expensive than the GeForce GTX 260. The existence of the new GeForce GTX 275 is just as interesting, as it is situated right between the GeForce GTX 260 and GTX 285 graphics cards in terms of pricing. The Unreal Tournament 3 and Far Cry 2 performance was reasonably competitive, though the GeForce GTX 275 did come out on top regardless of the resolution. Then it was the GeForce GTX 275 that dominated when testing with The Last Remnant, World in Conflict and Crysis Warhead. Although it was slower in Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. The Radeon HD 4890 was far superior in the only OpenGL game tested, Enemy Territory Quake Wars. Out of the seven games tested the Radeon HD 4890 was only found to be faster in two of them. For now it appears that for the most part the GeForce GTX 275 has a decent performance advantage over the Radeon HD 4890. Therefore, we wonder just how well the Radeon HD 4890 will perform when overclocked to say 950MHz for example, as this is only another 12% increase.Īgain this is something we will be looking at shortly. That said, the Radeon HD 4890 is already overclocked by 100MHz when compared to the Radeon HD 4870, and only half of this 13% frequency boost was transferred into extra performance. Of course the Radeon HD 4890 is said to be a terrific overclocker, and this is something that we are going to explore in our reviews based on production graphics cards. It was disappointing to find that in so many tests the Radeon HD 4890 was just a few frames per second faster than the original. The Radeon HD 4890 threatens the great value of the Radeon HD 4800 series, as it delivered just 5-6% more performance while priced at around 25% more.
The Radeon HD 4870 has always been the king of value, not performance, and with 1GB cards selling for as little as $190 US, this has never been truer.
