im building a computer and i need help choosing between 2 video cards.
1. Nvidia GTX 275
2. Radeon 4890 1GB
they are both very great cards and performe very well
the 275 performes a bit better than the 4890 but what im concerned
about is stability. ill be running it with;
- intel i7 920 processor
- ASUS P6T motherboard
- 6GB ram
im not gona run sli/crossfire. so i only need the one card.
also please dont suggest any other video cards im getting
1 of these 2, thanks in advance.
 
The 4890 is the better of the two. It pulls ahead of the GTX 275 in most games. The 4890 can also overclock more the a GTX 275 and it's cheaper. The only reason to get a GTX 275 is if you are going to F@H(folding at home) or you want Physx capabilities.
 
im not looking for which one is cheaper i can afford either one.
what im looking for is what one is the more stable of the two.
STABILTY

I don't know what you mean by stable! They are both great cards and really they both perform about the same. Like I said in my first post there is no reason to get a GTX 275 unless you will be folding or want Physx. Also do you want crossfire or SLI.
 
oh almost forgot
by stable i mean like will last the longest or is verl reliable.
i dont want to have to get a new card for a few years.
 
Depends on how you look at it. Flat out overall performance, I say the GTX 275 is slightly better. But the 4890 usually runs cheaper. Can you tell the difference in performance between the two without a benchmark, NO. So take a stab at it there.
