Post by: Kessu on December 20, 2009, 04:28:06 pm: HD 4870 is better than GTX260, if you are asking for it. In some games, which NVidia has payed, GTX 260 will have better performance, but there are no much those kind of games..

EDIT:
NVidia GTX260M is based on G92 chip, meaning it is as powerfull as 9600GT-9800GT..
ATI HD 4870 Mobility version is alot better than NVidia GTX260M..

Then why on earth are you buying an Alienware? If you're a serious gamer you'd buy a gaming PC, but seems you're not.. D:
Any of the two would do you absolutely fine..
