My bad guys I missed the 5 in GTX285

And according to the benchmarks, the 4870 was pretty much neck and neck with the 275 where as the 4890 was on par with the 285. I was basing it on that.

How can that be when a GTX260 basically beats the HD4870?

You are absolutely right.
But I've got to make a point.
This topic is just for a fanboy wars, If the cards are "almost" indentical
why then not to go with your favorite brand?
You can start crying over Nvidia = better then Ati or the opposite, but its just a matter of personal taste.

Ok Ati preforms better with AA on, but if you want to go folding I personally would go with a Nvid card.
The Ati is more for OC-ing than the Nvid card; But a lot of people don't go and overclock their cards. (forgive me if I'm really wrong)
So based on these points I would go with the Ati.
I love Nvidia but in this case Ati is the better choice

I would like to wish you good luck with your selection!

I don't exactly get your point, but I can back up my statement.

"That's what she said" is a common type of "joke". A joke is a sentence or statement whose intent is to bring about a humorous reaction in the listener/reader of said sentence. To find out what humor is, you can check it in a dictionary, but for the sake of convenience, I will post it here:

I hope you find this post helpful in your quest to discovering the meaning of a joke.

You've got the right idea, and yes, these basically boil down to fanboy wars. Most Nvidia users overclock, and when you overclock both cards, they still are about the same. I went with Nvidia because I wanted to fold when I was surfing the web and whatnot.

Either card will perform great.

EDIT:

The problem is that it wasn't funny.
