Personally I think ATI kix Nvidia's posterior time after time when it comes to performance - don't know why Nvidia is getting more exposure on these threads.

The only answer is, take the one you can afford, if money isn't an object, buy both and test which one you like the most. :p
I go for whichever is the best at the price that I can afford. I recently bought a Nvidia 9800gtx+ since it competed against the 4850 but the 4850s were all more expensive.
However in the end I do prefer Nvidia over ATI a bit. Just a little bit though. ;) I've owned both.
You know Crysis favors Nvidia cards... :(
ATI gives the best value for money at the moment. :)
Well what I've heard is that on different price levels it would be better to go for different cards. E.g. Nothing really competes with the 4850 on it's price point but when you get to the 4870 price point, the GTX260 becomes competition. Ati has DX10.1 which Nvidia doesn't but Nvidia has Phyx.
