Tech Report should have done benchmarks with a 260 216 card at stock to clarify the confusion..

But, lets get real.

Even if overclocked, the HD 4870 1GB couldn't touch an overclocked GTX 260 216.

This was the primary reason I bought my GTX 260. It's a helluva lot more overclockable than the HD 4870.

If you're going to overclock, the Nvidia card is definitely the better solution hands down
