Re: Which is a better one?

hm....... the 4890 is a single core and is the current fastest gpu core................ i think the 295 is two cores (correct me if i'm wrong guys) personally.... i would get a 4890 over a 295.....

Re: Which is a better one?

the 4890 has the performance edge by quite far compared with the GTX260, but Nvidia build quality & cooling capability far exceeds that from the ATI camp....

a lot off ppl will go for the performance regardless, but many suffer high temps & poor build quality...even faliure.

if your gonna go ATI make sure its XFX.....

Hi Skunksmash

I will acknowledge that shody cooling is plaguing "Both" card companies. As for ATI's build quality, I have to disagree with you there. I've been with ATI since 1999-2000 and have only had one card crap out on me (3870).

As to the XFX version of the 4890, that's the one I have and so far no issues.
