We have just received information that NVIDIA is preparing a GeForce GTX 275 card to go head on with the upcoming 55nm based Radeon HD 4890 which we discussed yesterday. According to the details, NVIDIA has briefed their partners only just recently and details of the counter attack strategy are pretty vague at the moment. However, NVIDIA seems quite confident that this card will have a competitive pricing and performance advantage over the Radeon HD 4890. Keep in mind that this video card is labeled as a GeForce GTX 275 which implies that performance can be expected between the range of a 216 shader strong GeForce GTX 260 and the faster GeForce GTX 280 graphics accelerator. - FudZilla

NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 275 Against a Radeon HD 4890

It's also interesting to note that in the span of about eight months, NVIDIA has released over five discreet GPU models that perform within ten to fifteen percent of each other, ranging in price from $200-650. The company is aiming for a $229 to $279 price range for its GeForce GTX 275, which directly competes with the Radeon HD 4890 at a similar price point. Nevertheless, NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 275 and AMD's Radeon HD 4890 are both expected to launch on April 6th, and we will be looking forward to the battle for the performance segment that awaits both sides. And as such the game is on once again, let the games begin.
