Welcome to the forums!

The GTX 260 is faster.
What is your power supply?

The nvidia card will have better benchmarks on everything including folding@home. In fact, the GTX260 (core 216) benchmarks higher or even with the HD4870 in all the benchmarks.

If you are part of folding@home then there is no comparison, the GTX260 crushes any and all ATI products.
