Looking at the benchmark tests the ATI seems to have the nVidia beat....and they should be about the same price

So I guess the ATI wins.

Indeed. On this playing field the ATi wins. But the nVidia will clock higher. And so on and so fourth. They are really very matched cards, so go with the cheaper one.

Hardware wise Ati is faster, but their drivers tend not to get the max out of the card
Driver wise Nvidia is having less problems (but stay away from 100.x version drivers) and will get up to 90% of the hardware specs
