Has anyone got any links to some up-to-date benchmarks comparing the 4870 to the GTX 260?

Depends on the model of GTX260...the older one (192 shader processors) lags behind consistantly, while the newer one (216 shader processors) isn't as far behind, but still usually a little bit behind the 4870. The gain from the 192sp to 216sp isn't worth it IMO...

Google should bring up a plethora of information, from lopsided to thorough reviews, to fanboyism out it's ying yang. Be prepared!

I've owned 2 x 4870, sapphire 4870X2, 2 x BFG MAXCore 216 260 GTX in SLI and an Asus 4870X2, all using the same board and ram for tests (evga 780i ftw for SLI, asus X48 for crossfire, same ram).

The nvidia cards are more expensive and slower in every test and bench that I tried (often not by much but they are still somewhat more expensive).
