i currently own a gtx 275 MSI dual frozr edition. It rocks but yet im no nvidia fan boy.. In my own opinion nobody who doesnt own one of these cards should be posting. Your only reading what the internet says and not what you say.. I do agree that ati sometimes has prices beat over Nvidia but i talk to some people who own 4890's in games and my gtx 275 is absolutely destroying them. But to be fair the 4890 and gtx 275 throw punches they were made to compete with eachother. Facts are youll see better gameplay in some games then others depending on the card. The real question is what kind of game are you planning to run?
So, listening to professional revewers who make a living at grading cards is stupid, but listening to random stories from people you meet online who may not know a thing about comptuers is the way to go? Logical fail good sir. I got a good laugh from this I must say, damn those phoney reviewers makng *** up eh! I want to listen to uncredited randoms who bought both cards in order to become their own reviewers... far more believeable source as they are not influenced by 'the man.' Damn people for useing viable sources for thier oppinions! Stating thins like that makes you come off as a raving conspiracy nut by the way, though you are certainly not alone in the paranoid thoughts about authority figures (skepticism is good, blindness not so much)..
Both are fine cards, if one is too dim to get thier 4890 working as well as your 275 (or at least close enough not to be 'destroyed') they are not worth the energy to listen to.
If you want to buy both cards go ahead and make your own review.. but enough with your conspiracy mumbo-jumbo about reviews (granted some are idiots, but if you are unable to rank the validity of a review based on sources, settings, etc. you shuld not be on the internet.)
To add, I feel dirty for posting in a thread that was useless in april...
