So the lady of my life has decided to splash out on my Birthday pressie and get me a new graphics card to replace my aging Radeon 3850, the budget is £100 absolute maximum so I have a choice of a Geforce GTS250, a Radeon 5750 or 4850.
So.... which is best, let the flame wars begin.....

Get a 5750, all three of those cards have very similar performance, but the 5750 will run cooler and use slightly less power.

Well, I'd take 5750 if any of those. As Prometheus said, similar performances, but that one is the latest tech and should keep you satisfied for a while. It should definately be a noticable difference compared to your old card.

4770 is roughly the same (just slower) than the 4850. I hear that the 5750 is much poorer and that the 5770 is a better bet for not much more money than the 5750.

It's probably too weak to work with the Eyefinity resolutions at acceptable framerates, though. Still... it gets my vote from those Milly presented.

I would try really hard to push the boat out an extra £23 or so to get a 5770.
I have a 4850 and can vouch for it's awesomeness...handles most games pretty well at 1680*1050 resolution (with an extra monitor attached). Because of the price drop on the 4 series cards...you will probably get a good deal on those
Apparently the 5770 is about the same speed as the 4870...but with Eyefinity (lots of monitors) and DX11 (pretty looking games)

5750 gets you Eyefinity and DirectX11.
Going to try this soon, will see if eyefinity works well or not (the problem is you need a display that'll work through the Display Port actively - I'm trying out some VGA converter hack currently, heh).
I've got a 5850, is nice, as far as crappy drivers go, will be cool to run some silly DirectX 11 stuff on it, heh. I'd still likely recommend nVidia just because the drivers don't suck though
I know if they come out with a faster 3 monitor-supporting card, I'll probably upgrade to it (if it is, like this thread suggests, around £100 or so).

Just to hijack the thread:
What about the upcoming new nvidea cards (fermi)?
I want to buy a new GF, but I'm not in a hurry, so I intend to wait until the new nvidea generation is released (which should be Q1 2010) and then decide. If nothing else it should put pressure on ATI (lower prices?).

Well if it goes like usual, Nvidia will release a card, which will be just a bit faster than the current Ati flagship (5970), but will cost about 200$ more. Not earlier than in March, though.
Rest of them will be comparable, though you'll get better performance for the same money as compared to Nvidia products. Nvidia usually spends more money to make sure all the important games are optimized for their products (nothing wrong with that, as long as it doesn't fuck up the performance for Ati cards).
If you have too much money and can afford it, Nvidia is the way to go. If you don't have a lot of money and don't give a shit (like me) - Ati always had more bang for the buck. Horrible driver UI, though, compared to Nvidia.
