The GeForce GTX 260 is closest in performance to the Radeon HD 4870 ( http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-radeon-hd-geforce-gtx,2676-7.html )Personally, if you're going to upgrade, I'd suggest going for the lowest of the new 400 series - the GeForce GTX 460 at roughly the same price as the 260, and 50% better performance.
