the evga 275s are really quiet.

First of all besides Far Cry 2, Stalker: Clear Sky, Assassin's Creed and maybe like two or three more mildly known titles there are pretty much no other games that utilize DirectX 10.1. And second of all, unlike DirectX 10.1, PhysX is something that will actually continue to be used in the future as well. DirectX 10.1 won't even matter once DirectX 11 comes out (which both companies will have).


With popular titles including: Gears of War, Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, Mass Effect, Mirror's Edge, Race Driver: GRID, Splinter Cell: Double Agent, and of course Unreal Tournament III. Without PhysX those games are not the same and the players really know that.

I don't understand all the GTX 275 hate as of lately.
I agree with OpenYourEyes on using Crysis as a benchmark, because that's the game that you'll actually need frames in! I don't care whether I get 150 or 190 FPS in CoD4, but I do care if I get 25 or 30 FPS in Crysis. I's the most graphics intensive game out there right now, so it seems logical to use it. And no, I don't care about synthetics, I just want to know how well a card does in games.

That being said, either card will be great. Personally, I'd recommend the GTX 275, as it came out as the best card for me after some extensive research, and I fold as well. The HD4890 is a very good card, too.

EDIT: For the people mad about Nvidia users saying Physx is an advantage, maybe you should quit touting DX 10.1 as an advantage. Five games total support it.

Yeah, I knew about that list, but I think they should make more PhysX supported games, I actually meant popular games though.

BTW, does Mass Effect utilize PhysX , how can I enable that?

I would go for the 4890. Even if it dosent have PhysX the 4890 right now is at a great price and OC it and it will be better than the GTX 275. And Crysis will alwayes be better with Nvidia because that game is made for nividia cards so it will alwayes have 2-4 FPS on you. But like I said, id go for the 4890.

as if a quarter of that list did support physx in the end.

i've 2 games in that list that has physx support but i don't see any difference at all. and the other one, i couldn't even find the physx enable in the game.

mirror's edge would be a real benefit with physx though since it really shows them well.

havoc will be released soon anyway.
only used dx10.1 to neutralize it coz of that physx feature every nvidiot is so crazed about. and at least dx11 games will still have the benefit of dx10.1.

4890.

DirectX 11 games will also have the benefit of Physx. I don't really see where you're going with that, unless I'm not getting something.
