However, ATI has notoriously bad drivers, which some have been claiming are good now..

It's a crap shoot.. The FX might be a little slower (or faster), but it will definitely be solid.. The Radeon is here now and MAY be solid, but will be about the same performance.

Here is a good comparison:

The FX will blow away the current best radeon and the current best nvidia geforce 4 ti 4600 (im gonna sell mine to get the new FX or the next radeon). Of course, the next big thing from ATI will trump the FX, question is, by how much?
