I only owned nVidia cards, and still have one on my PC. I'm still using the very old GeFirce 3 TI. It's an excelent card, and I can't complain about it, but it's not for this generation.
If I was to buy the top card right ow that would be the ATI x800XT. It is way to close to the nVidia 6800U and even above it on some scores. Plus it's native on PCI Express on which it wasn't even tested. The whider bandwith migth help it a little as well. That doesen't mean that I like the fact that they stick with Shaders v2 instead of the new Shader v3, but no games has v3 shading yet.
On the long run, I think nVidia will be this round the winner, as it was during the GF2 and the GF3 times, and as ATI was starting with 9500 and up
