but then you take into account the issues that ATI cards are having in general. (they are having severe driver issues with Unreal Engine games, including borderlands)
I'm not saying these won't be fixed, but it is up to you to decide if you want something that will have slightly better performance down the road, or something that is guaranteed to work immediately for 20-40 more bucks.
in general the cards are about equal in terms of price-to-performance, power consumption, and heat (if you get the Sapphire VaporX for the 4870), so you are really just making a brand decision at this point.
Edit: actually, what is your resolution that you use?
