The GTX 275 is equal to HD4890
The 4890 and GTX 275 are pretty much equal. Really in benchmarks the GTX 275 beats it 60% of the time. The 4890 is a better deal because of the price. And (both) can be overclocked.
I've had both too. Plus (every) benchmark I have seen shows what I said. Stock the GTX 275 beats the 4890 in about 60% of games. Not talking about ATI fanboy benchmarks that only show ones where the 4890 wins. So they are pretty much equal. Shouting out that the 4890 is (better) then the GTX 275 and comes closer to the 280/285 is B/S. Its nothing but a overclocked 4870. But saying that I would buy the 4890 over the 275 but for price alone. But really the 4870 is the beast deal performance/price wise.
I think look at GPU benchmarks for games is the worst way to compare them. Some game use Nvidia cards better then ATI and vice versa.
Now really think hard about those two sentences.
Nvidia is better at some/ATI are better at others. Really now, in all the years I've built computers that never occurred to me. This is getting in the realm of noobness.
