2 excellent products, I don't think anyone would be disappointed with either of these cards. My personal advice? If you're in the US go for the GTX 216 as there are some great deals over there for that card but in the UK the 4870 tends to be a good £20 cheaper so that's probably your best bet.

Either way the consumer wins. Hopefully these great driver optimisations from Nvidia spur ATI on to match them.

4870: £180-£300
280 GTX: £350-£400

Hmm...
