what do you guys think about this puppy? It's either this or the 4890. Which do you think is better? Possibly even the gtx 275...

I'm in the process of doing a complete upgrade to a new computer, and this was one of the video cards that I was considering. From the various benchmarks I've seen, it seems like a great price/performance card that performs well at even high resolutions in demanding games. The only drawback is the massive size of the card. I bought a full tower, and the card still won't fit in it without some modification to the hard drive bays lol.

The card is just under 11.25" long, so it won't fit in my case because it would run into my hard drive bays lol. I could make it fit by cutting/taking out the bays, but I really don't want to go through the hassle just for this one card lol.
