nvidia equivalent card

[chaos]

Haven't been following any of the nvidia video cards for a long time. What would be a card or cards similar to AMD's 4670 to 4850(better than the built in 4200 graphics on my mobo)??? It will be going in an htpc, but I want the ability to do some gaming at maybe 1900x1200 with some eye candy on..

well a 4850 performs around GTS 250 or 9800GTX+. a 4670, hmm that's a little harder, but I ASSUME it's around a 9500 GT?

If you want to do 1900x1200 with some eye candy I'd suggest a GTX 260 if you really want nvidia. If you choose ATi I'd get a 4870.

For an HTPC I'd probably go with a 5770 just for the much lower power draw compared to the older generation cards. Nothing Nvidia offers at the moment can compare, at least as far as watts/performance goes.
