BFG TECHNOLOGIES Nvidia 5900nu. Absolutely the best performance for your money today. It bests the ATI 9800np and is just as fast and on many occasions, faster than a 9700pro. Except in DX9 performance.

Well, it's difficult to "best" the 9800NP and be "just as fast" as the 9700Pro, since those two cards have practically identical performance (and, generally, when they differ the 9800NP is a little bit faster).

Toms Hardware's latest video card roundup

AT, sadly, has yet to do the same sort of comprehensive roundup of all of today's cards running the same tests.

Basically, the 5900NU is a good card (and it's a steal for ~$160-170), but it's 5-10% slower than the 9800NP/9700Pro, moreso with AA/AF on, and it's likely to be considerably slower in DX9 games. Take from that what you will.
