ATI, Nvidia Reveal New $250 Graphics Cards

Posted by timothy on from the short-and-sweet dept.

ThinSkin writes "As part of their 'Spring Refresh,' both AMD and Nvidia reveal new $250 graphics cards, the Radeon 4890 and GeForce GTX 275. ExtremeTech takes both cards and runs them through a gamut of gaming and synthetic benchmarks to decide which card triumphs over the other. Long story short, the GeForce takes the cake with impressive performance at its price, while the Radeon didn't show a high improvement over the cheaper Radeon 4870."

  1. GeForce or Radeon?? by PIBM · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm not sure on how to analyze that post after reading TFA. It seems that the radeon beat the nvidia in most of the cases, even at the $ per average FPS..

    Thus why is this tagged with nvidia as the winner ?

  2. you mean Charlie Demerjian by MoFoQ · · Score: 5, Insightful

    yea...but don't think it's a "they"...just one crusader (don't think he wears a cape): Charlie Demerjian

    He just hates nVidia with a passion.
    Supposedly, there was some sort of "tiff" between them...them, like many companies, wanting to limit negative reviews, etc.

    either way, grains (not just grain) of salt required for his articles regarding NV.
