GTX260 vs HD4890 comparison from Tom's Hardware:

About the same either way, it'd really come down to personal preference for me.

Well if you are going based off of performance and OC potential then I would say the 4890 is the clear winner. The gtx260 is more on the level of a 4870, not a 4890. Those higher clocks boost performance. You can then at least get another 100Mhz on top of that.
