Just thought I'd pass this performance chart along to our folding team members as it shows the performance differences between the Radeon HD 4870 and the upcoming Radeon HD 4890 compared to the GeForce GTX 250 and GeForce GTX2 260. Enjoy!

Too bad ATI cards don't do as well as nVidia. I would really love to get an ATI card for my next upgrade.

nVidia's cards might be better at folding, but it doesn't mean that they're better at video performance. So, while folding is nice and all, you should probably buy a graphics card based on what it is designed for (GRAPHICS).

A GTS250 performing the same as a GTX260? That's......sorta impossible. GTX260 has at least 64 shaders more than GTS250.

4850x2 was able to drop around 4k per unit in testing on Vista with 1 client running. I understand that in XP you can run 2 clients.
