Point in graphics cards?

I want a card that'll do 60fps in every game at 1920x1200 with 32xSSAA, and shedloads of Anisotropic filtration.

That is all.


Crysis IS rendering a lot, and DOES look better than anything, but it COULD do with some serious optimising.....there, now shush ;)
 
4850 or 4870 will allow you to game at smoother FPS regardless of resolution as they have better texture compression management than Nvidia. This is understandable as most of Nvidia's series8/9 cards are based on mid 2006 technology which they have milked eversince.

4850/4870 are newer and do things better which is why everyone is asking about them as the prices are very good compared to the Nvidia offerings as ATI are trying to regain market share by offering superb performance for very little money.

No card is perfect but the ATI HD4850/70 series are very good for the money and will improve gaming for most as they are a newer design so can run existing games very well and DX10.1 allows for almost free AA.
Assassins Creed is the only current game with this if you do not patch it (nvidia asked/forced ubisoft to remove this as none of their cards support it). When you play Assassins Creed on a DX10.1 card not only is it free of the stuttering you get on most Nvidia cards but you also get AA with little performance hit as DX10.1 bypasses a rendering pass.
