GTX 260 vs. HD 4870 vs. HD 4890

candle what program do you use to overclock your card?

I think this is the exact card i have

I tried using their overclocking software but it didnt do anything

Get the latest version of Precision to overclock your card. IT's as simple as sliding a bar on the screen and clicking apply.

If it's the same price than 4890 is the superior card. It's meant to go head to head with nvidia's GTX275. My friend has a GTX260 with almost identical specs as my computer (even a faster processor) and my system still manages to pump more frames out.

Yes the gtx260 will loose a little to a 4890.

But, after owning two sapphire 1gb 4870's in crossfire, I now reside with a single gtx260 and it plays ANY game at 1920x1080 with any settings.
 
I actuall h have the XFX 4890 and it's great. The cooler is a bit loud but having double life warranty is a plus.

Cool thanks. Are there any games that you find difficult or impossible to play (assuming that is due to the gpu)? If so what settings? Anyone else have problems?
