Default Which GPU??

Hey guys, I have the GTX285 in my sig, and I just bought a XFX 4890XXX. I am currently installing games with benchmarks to do some tests of my own. But Id like your opinion as to which card I should keep, as I will be selling one to a friend.

Depending on what ocn has to say, and my results will determine which card I keep. Thanks in advance guys.

Well both cards are very similar, the 4890 is cheaper but since you already have both cards, I would personally go with the 285gtx, i prefer nvidia drivers, but see what you tests show, it also depends what game, some games run better on ATI while others run better on Nvidia

I believe the 285 is slightly better and if you do any folding, the 285 is the way to go
