Although already running at higher speeds from the factory, we also managed to obtain the highest GPU, Shader, and Memory speeds during our overclocking tests,В most likelyВ due in part to that extra cooling.

The card is factory-overclocked, performance was very strong, and its cooler did a much better job than any of the reference models.В Temperatures might not have been quite as low as advertised, but they were still lower than any of the other cards that we tested, and the speeds adjust properly to keep noise output low when full power is not a necessity. In our experience, that's moneyВ notВ spent wisely as we saw little inВ return to justify the higher price point.Д«ased on all the information that we've gathered, ourВ opinion is that MSI's NGTX275 Twin Frozr OC isВ the stand-out card from this group. Price-wise, the cards are almost all withinВ a few dollarsВ of $250 with the exception of theВ 1792MB version from EVGA, whichВ commands a premium for the additional memory atВ just over $300. It also uses up the most power,В due to the addition of the second fan and its higher clocks, but not exorbitantly so.ДЄs we finally reach the conclusion of this article, we realize that with no clear cut winner emerging from the two camps in terms of performance alone, the final choice of what to buy will probably come down to price,В overall value,В and, of course, brand preference. The exception to this rule is the MSI NGTX275 Twin Frozr OC, which is ALWAYS running cooler than the others, at idle or under load. Here, under load, the Radeons are running not only cooler, but consuming slightly less power. Cards like these are more geared for gamers, though, and load conditions are a better indicator of what they will be used for. The GTX 275 also tends to run cooler at idle as well. In most casesВ the differenceВ is about 40W or more much lowerВ than the Radeons. At idle,В browsing the web, checking your e-mail, or simply writing up your homework, etc.,В the GTX 275 consumes far less power than the HD 4890. So, we must factor in the power and temperature results to get a better picture of everyday operation. Of course, not everybody will be going down the multi-GPU path.

A quick look at our results actually has three Radeon HD 4890s running closer to twoВ GTX 275s in SLI. Dual and 3-Way SLI combinations work best with Crysis, completely overcoming any advantage the Radeons might have had during single GPU testing. Real world testing paints an entirely different picture, however. 3DMark Vantage results are somewhat skewed in that the overall performance scoresВ heavily favoredВ for the GTX 275, but when we break down the performanceВ increases in multi-GPU configurations as a percentage we see that the cards are scaling on similar levels, with the HD 4890 dropping off just a bit in CrossFireX. In this category, we would have to lean in the direction of theВ GeForce GTX 275.

Both series of cards are priced competitively and make multiple card configurationsВ a very realistic option for more users. With the victor varying from game engine to game engine, we turn our eyes next to the extra details. Conversely, the HD 4890 was an ace in H.A.W.X.-at least when using DirectX 10.1-and had a slight lead in our Crysis testing.В Far Cry 2 was a dead heat, with the top overclocked models finishing almost completely on par with each other. NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 275 rompedВ the Radeon HD 4890 in the synthetic benchmarks, we saw huge wins in ET: Quake Wars, and lesser victories in Left 4 Dead, although the deltas increased as the resolution was raised. Performance Summary: As you may have already surmised, there is no clear winner here based solely on performance, as theВ cards traded victoriesВ in our benchmarks.
