AMD and Nvidia’s graphics card lineups have matched each other in performance, image quality, and feature sets. There’s not much more for fanboys to argue over but that doesn’t mean they won’t try.

HotHardware has a roundup of Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 and AMD Radeon HD 4890 graphics cards with their usual rigorous testing regiment in effect. Here’s a look:

Also, as its name suggests, NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 275 fits comfortably into the slot between the GTX 260 and GTX 285 cards, with a price set to match the HD 4890.  All three of these cards are powered, for the most part, by NVIDIA’s GT200b GPU, but are equipped with varying number of stream processors, different amounts of memory, and differing memory interface widths and ROP configurations.  At its most basic level, the GTX 275 is a lower power version of the GTX 285, using the same 55nm die at a clock speed of 633MHz while the GTX 285 runs at 648MHz.

Some wins, some losses, some ties…it’s what any great roundup is all about.
