9800 GX2 VS 4890

[ali123]

Hi guys, I can get both cards for the same price ($140). I know the 9800 GX2 is outdated and uses alot more watts but currently which one is better in pure performance?

Thanks

Well the 4890 is sort like the GTX280.
The GX2 while in most games seemed to be more powerful the min FPS was its weak point and it was never a popular card except for folding.
I think I would go with the 4890 if you are not into physx, 3d vision, cuda or folding.
