Even though the reviews are sometimes buyist its better to judge all of them instead of just 1. get the fanboy out.

If the 4890 is not overclocked, but again, can you just stop and read through some of the information 1st. The link I posted page 1, and then the results on page 2 at the top, both show that a 4890 is very close in performance to a 285. In certain applications the 4890 wins, and visa versa, there is no definite winner for performance.

I know, I'm saying percentage increases, not clock increases.

4890 = 20% OC on average
285 = 10% OC on average

Again, someone say something if I am wrong, this is just the general impression I've been given.

Lol, I answered your question with the first words.

4850 X2 = GTX285 > 1Ghz clocked or lower 4890

In most game titles, not all. Some games, the GTX285 beats both, sometimes the 4890 beats both.

For you guys saying an OC 285 > OC 4890, can you please show me some benchmarks or reviews that prove that?

Blackhawk4 · 06-24-09

right off the bat no...i keep getting alot of GTX 275 ocd vs hd 4890 ocd.....bleep google

ItsTopher · 06-24-09

I posed you a link on page one of GTX 285 OC vs HD 4890 OC. They are equal, the choice is yours.

Now, if we could then refer back to poast #2, I believe I predicted getting to no conclusion as in the other million similar threads...I think we need someone with many of the newer cards to just make a sticky of this nonsense and end these threads.

All of you give me your cards and I'll do the test

Folding is the one place where the GTX 285 really shines compared to the 4890.

But what I really would want to see is a comparison between the two of them, exactly like the Megahalem versus the TRUE.
