Hey all, a friend of mine as asked whats the best graphics card around for playing the most recent and most demanding games regardless of price as he's saving for a high spec rig after Xmas? I've heard the 'ATI 4870' is amongst the top cards currently.

But G cards aren't my strong point so any advice, links etc would be greatly appreciated.
He's going to be using the computer for everything from hard gaming & graphics/video editing to browsing Google :).
Cheers in advanced.

The 4870x2 is the fastest

4870x2, GTX 280, 9800GX2 are some of the best, I think.
But in higher resolution with full AA, like the above reply, the 4870x2 is the one.
