Well if we are going to switch gears and go price... you win.
I was only talking pure performance.
It is a good bang for the buck card. I wouldn't even kid about that. :up:
Well you could compare the 295 to the 4890 and Ofcourse the 295 is faster :p:Quote:

Should be called Price gouging FTW.

Quality GPU's that run both Graphics anf PhysX, dont come cheep! :)
Also the EVGA brand with Step Up option...
Service and support from EVGA is second to none...
Able to replace the stock cooling, and still have warranty in tact...
All extra $$$, but worth it to some. (Like me) :D
Canadian pricing for a GTX 275 FTW is within the same range as the HD 4890 1Ghz in the US.
FTW: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product...VGA-_-14130479
HD 4890 1Ghz in USD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102839
The correct pricing makes the Sapphire HD 4890 Atomic 1Ghz the same price or slightly higher than the EVGA GTX 275 FTW yet performance is pretty much the same.
The link I have was 285 FTW, sky, not 275 FTW.Quote:

Somehow you replied in the 30 seconds it took me to edit my post. :up:Quote:

Throw a PhysX game in there too...
No site has the gonads to do that.
Be the first.
There are some sites that do.Quote:

At this point everyone already knows how non-Nvidia cards will be absolutely crippled by PhysX implementation so I don't really see the need to beat a dead horse.
If one of these days a game is released with PhysX that is worth playing for more than 5 minutes, it will be included. Until then, they will all get lumped into one PhysX article that will be released when it is ready.

A good read, written by a smart guy. :up:
I agree :)Quote:

Remember though that both will be deemed useless by DX11, which will have performance optimizations and its own built in physics API.
Perkam
Super idea...
Lets see what makes the better gaming experience. :yepp:
I also like the fact that when you buy a 300 and use it for Graphics, you can still use your 280 for dedicated PhysX.
Then Nvidia still has the best of both worlds.
What will ATI do then. :ROTF:
Tell their customers that they'll do their physics on GPU just fine like the rest of the DX 11 cards? :shrug:Quote:

I will believe it when I see it... :p:
Will the largest game makers in the world, who are currently making PhysX games for Nvidia, even work their magic with DX11 physics?
Probably not. ATI will have to do some leg work to get some people on the physics train too.
FYI - PhysX is currently the only multi-threaded physics solution.
"Buying an extra card for Physx has never taken off now. What makes you think it will take off with DX 11 cards?"
1 - It takes time to develop quality games... Nvidia hasent had PhysX that long... They will arrive.
2 - Animal speed that a dedicated PhysX card brings, that gives you higher FPS in PhysX games, faster video transcoding, better performance in folding, and probably the 3D glasses too.
in the long run, when dx11 cards come out, the differences between the gtx275 and 4890 are gonna seem so minuscule when they themselves are getting dwarfed.
Yea, in the last 5 years almost nothing has come out. And for 3D Realms 12 years wasn't enough.Quote:

Agiea runing the show was a joke. Check your info.

Thanks for more conformation. :cool:
