So after reading the reviews out there I have come to the conclusion that were at a bit of a tie. nVidia wins once again in raw speed, but ATi is better in (IQ) AA and maybe AF, but they seem pretty close.
However I would still give the crown to ATi, when you buy a card like the 5800Ultra or 9700 you play with AA + AF. 2xAA is now pretty much 'free' and 4x AA still kills the cards a bit in busy sceens etc. Therefore it would be sensible to assume that most gamers with either of these cards would play at 2xAA+8/16 AF. the GFFX clear doesnt do 2xAA as well as the 9700Pro, hense my previous conclusion.
I know the card is still on beta drivers, but i doubt nVidia will be able to pull much more out of the hat.
just my $0.02
