I currently have a GF 7950 GX2 but am looking to upgrade to a newer
card. I've always been a GeForce fan and never bought anything from
ATI/AMD. But I keep hearing good things so I'm open to either brand if
the price and performance is right.

I'm looking to spend no more that approx $200 (i'd do $250 if it was a
really good deal on price/performance tho).

I'm eyeb alling the GF GTX 260 and GTX 275, but am unsure which AMD
card to compare these against. Can anyone tell me?

Also, i've been hearing that this generation of AMD cards is better
than the GeForce ones, have others found this to be the case?

Any suggestions for cards would be great.

A comparable ATI card is the Radeon HD 4890, but I would stick with a
GeForce.
