9800GTX+ is the nVidia comparison.

You can't compare video cards across brands by clock speed, stream processors or anything, only benchmarks.

yeah. back in the day the stream processors were an easy way to tell general performance. Now, there is no other way to tell other than benchmarks.

The GTX260, afaik, competes with the 4870, GTX280 with the 4870X2 afaik. I get sort of confused on this sometimes though but I'm pretty sure that's right.

4870 X2 > GTX280 > 4870 (1GB) > GTX260 > 4850
From my own research, this is the configuration I found would be true, from best to worst.

Yea, I agree, the ATI versions are only slightly behind performance wise, but miles behind cost wise.
