How does the 4870 compare to Nvidia's 300$ card? I was looking at the Newegg.com - PNY VCGGTX260XPB GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
Assuming I actually get the 50$ mail in rebate, It's actually cheaper than the ATI 4870. I used to goto Toms hardware to see benchmarks but they don't have either of these cards listed yet :/

Like I said above, the 4850 and the 4870 are the best deals on the market. the 4870 actually blows the 260 out of the water so bad it's embarrassing. The 4870 is actually just as good as nvidia's GTX 280 which is way expensive.
