That ati card will pump out more than twice the bandwidth at 64 GB, versus 25.6GB for the nvidia card. Ati will be the far better deal, as nvidia has not really put out any good cards in a few years. also, nvidia cards run a lot hotter than ati. try to get the HIS version with the ICE-Q cooler, it really is worth a few extra bucks. as far as settings, you wont be able to hit much more than medium in crysis, ( because crysis is that epic) but everything else should run in high without any problems, i don't know what resolution you are using. (i still play in 1280x1024:)

well, the nvidia gt 430 can play battlefield 3 on ultra settings at 1280x1024 resolution, and the MSI version is 85 MHz faster with it's core clock, and i think 250 MHz faster memory clock, and comes with 2 fans, but is a low profile card it kicks @$$ :)

Somehow your GT 430 must be better than my HD 6870 then.
The HD 5670 is quite a bit faster than the GT 430, the closest thing Nvidia has in the same segment is the GT 240 or GT 440, and they are still slower by a bit.
