Guys, Need sum help plz.
Geforce: Asus ENGTX275 896MB or ATI: Sapphire 4890 Vapour-X
I dont want to upgrade again for a while, So which one would be the best choice? I know the geforce has more raw power, but you get way higher FPS on the Radeon.
Did some research on both, still cant make up my mind. I dont really care about brand, I'm worried about lifespan.
Gimme some ideas plz
Thanks!

@ Piglit-za
sup man. thing is, most people know that nvidia can run high resolutions easily but lags more than ati with quality at those res's, but ati cards can pump out insane quality with no lag at an average res (average being 1280x1024) i currently have an ati 4870HDx2 and its a monster. run crysis at 1280x1024 and everything on the highest quality. in my case id REALLY recommend the ATI 4890. ATI have also just broken the 1ghz core/engine clock now (b4 nvidia) so i think id hang around with ATI. what cpu do u have?
