| 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. |
