ATI 4850 outperforms GTX 250 for around the same price/cheaper.

ATI 4870 outperforms GTX 260 for around the same price/cheaper.

I hear ATI is the way to go right now price/performance but I also hear their drivers are shittier.

4850 is practically a volcano and idles at about 50 degrees.

4870 barely outperforms the GTX260 and does the same thing.

Oh and the drivers are a good point, too. the 8800 GT currently outperforms the 5870 in Unreal engine games (I get to talk mad shit about borderlands)

I have heard that spending a little more money for the 4870 is much better than the 4850, but if it performs better and is cheaper than the 260 why not get that?
