    Two sites with review for GTX 260 and tests results including HD4870 in same configuration:

    Nvidia GeForce GTX 260/280 Review : Introduction - Review Tom's Hardware
    GeForce GTX 260 review

    In my opinion 4870 is a better choice for you. With a some money you can buy a HD5850, new graphic card from AMD eand great performance

    Careful with the XFX 260 I plan on buying a 260 really soon here but careful cause from a few people a few of the model 260's, XFX offers heatsink suck, its just a big aluminuim block so ya just make sure =P

    Thanks,

    i have the 65nm revision of the XFX GTX260 B.E.

    the card is an absolute monster..... idles @ 43c (stock fan speed) & loads out @ 55c (with 75% fan speed), build quality was superb on the early GT200s but the introduction of the 55nm refresh has brought a drop in cooling performance & general build quality..

    if you can get a 65nm XFX B.E. 260 ''grab it!!'' it'll outperform that 4870 1gb, the XFX B.E. 260 out performs the vanilla GTX280

    it also comes with every accessory you'll ever need & it has a lifetime warranty.

    just my 2 cents...
