Since Nvidia tricked me with their horrible FX 5000 series I never went back. Sold my "old" HD4670 (best low budget card ever) and got my new HD6850 a couple of weeks ago. Works like a charm but consumes a bit more juice than the 4670 but the 4670 barely consumed anything so it's not a biggie. No problems or hitches so far, I'm not a fanboy but I do perceive myself as an informed consumer. That's why I go for AMD, good performance/€, low energy consumption (maybe not the high-end cards but I never buy high-end anyway).
