ATI HD 5570 1GB or GeForce GTS 250 1GB? Both on sale

Hello,

My My BFG Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX 768mb factory OC died the other day. I am looking for a new card to tie me over on my current system for 6-12 months until I fully upgrade to a brand new system (new mobo, CPU, RAM, and everything).

Right now I am looking at the GIGABYTE GV-R557OC-1GI Radeon HD 5570 1GB and PNY VCGGTS2501XPB GeForce GTS 250 1GB 256-bit on New Egg.

Both cards are on sale and within my price range. I am wondering which is the better value and which will be better for gaming until I upgrade to a more expensive system down the road. I need a card that can play Bad Company 2, Star Craft 2, Crysis, etc, decently to well.

My BFG Nvidia Geforce 8800 GTX 768mb factory OC was able to run Crysis pretty well on medium/high graphics at around 30fps, and Bad Company 2 at around 30-60 FPS on medium/high settings depending on what was happening.



The rest of my system specs are:

Mainboard : Abit AB9/AB9RPO(Intel965+ICH8)

Chipset : Intel P965

Processor : Intel Core 2 Duo E6700 @ 2666 MHz

Physical Memory : 3072 MB

Monitor Type : Samsung SyncMaster - 19 inches

Operating System : Microsoft Windows XP Professional 5.01.2600 Service Pack 3

DirectX : Version 9.0c (April 2009)

I totally appreciate the help, and not to sound desperate, but any quick replies would be great, as these New Egg deals may not last for more than a day. Also, if you have any other card recommendations than the ones I posted and am looking at, I'd be glad to hear them. Thanks!
