I have a 5850 in my racing/sim rig and a 5870 in my work PC. The ATI card is the way to go in the $300 price range. The new NVidia 580 is looking like an awesome card but it should be at the price point it's coming in at over $500. Plus with NVidia you cannot do multi-screen gaming without SLI so basically $1000 in cards to do 20% more than what one ATI card can do for $300.
For reference I run an E7400 CPU at 3.8GHz with the 5850 and run IL2 at 5760x1080 on the highest detail level across three screens and average around 60fps. Can go higher if I overclock the 5850 but there's no need. The 5870 is even better.
