You don't have to use the CCC. Not for single cards at least. I've never used the CCC throughout my time with ATI as I uses ATI Tray Tools.

I've been agonising over this too...
4870 or GTX260 or GTX280
Basically there's very little between them. I've decided to go for the 4870 because
a] I have pointless brand loyalty towards ATI
b] It's cheaper
c] 4870 blows the hot air outside the case, the nVidia cards blow it back in.
d] The 4870 is the same length as my x1950pro and I have limited space
Minor points maybe but it helped me decide when there's not much to keep the cards apart.
