Power is probably the least important aspect of a video card. A stable and compatable card will give you far less grief than a card that runs 10% faster on what few games it likes. This is why I always go for Nvidia products. There was a time when I (briefly) defected to ATI (you can look for the posts if your really bored) but that was only because Nvdia screwed the early versions of the GeforceFX. Try playing NWN on a radeon. Sure, it works, but wheres the shiny water?
