If those cards are your only options then i guess 8800GTS HD4850 is 155$ after rebate or 20$ more if not.It's under 200$ and beats all of these cards listed here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102747 Need Help Choosing A Graphics Card

BTW a hd 3870 has 320stream processors, the hd 48xx cards have 800
GTS 512, but i'm looking at the 9800GTX+.

ATI 4850s are around $150. They will outperform anything in your list. In linux they will perform slightly better then a 3870, which is terrible if you consider its potential but its good enough for me, driver upgrades should fix the problems.
