Look at the graphs broken down by resolution, the top two resolutions tested:
1680x1050 and
1920x1200
The two cards are virtually even. No point in paying a dime more for either card. Right now, even if I assume you can get the Toxic for $230 like you say, the GTX275 for $10 cheaper is a better buy. $10 is $10, if you can get the same performance and save $10 I say do it. I'm not caught up in a few FPS, to me the cards are equal, I'm caught up on the $$$.

You mean I have to justify my purchase of the HD4890? I don't really get how that makes sense in the context.

Anything else no point in buying the cards then.

The two cards are equal in my eyes, and I'll quote myself:

That is my point here, it isn't about which performs better, as they are both so close it won't matter, but the Toxic being more expensive and having no overclocking head room makes the GTX275 a better option.

can we really tell the difference between 35FPS and 37FPS? |
I use both, I certainly can't tell the difference in IQ between the two. I've read articles where they freeze frame the game and zoom in so far both images look completely pixelated, and you can't even tell what you are looking at, and some say ATi is better and others say nVidia is better. Personally, I don't freeze frame in the middle of my games and press my face against the monitor...
