I am using Radeon, but the Shadow Play feature on the high end Nvideia cards might be worth considering as folks who have them say the video captures are less intensive on the FPS use.

I am using Radeon with 'Eyefinity' and 3 screens. Dunno if Nvidia has the same feature.

If you want to be future-proof, you'll need something with 4GB. So, if money is not an issue, then go with a superclocked 780 Ti 4GB version. Otherwise, get a 290X 4GB or something with 4GB. You can look here for a graphics card hierarchy.

I cannot compare, as I always had ATI RADEON cards so far. My HD 7870 is doing a fine job. But in OFF-times they said, OFF looked even better on NVIDIA cards. I guess I'm not helping...

I have used ATI cards for over ten years and have currently moved to the Nvidia 780 Ti (the dark side) this year. I went with the Nvidia card for two reasons, 1. it is faster than any ATI single card (CFS3 does not use dual cards) and 2. it has far greater video settings (with Nvidia Inspector) than ATI cards.
With the Nvidia Inspector software, you can get about 4 times the number of 3D setting that you can get in the ATI CC software.
Visually I do not notice much difference between the ATI game machine and Nvidia game machine except for the ability to tweak the Nvidia PC much more than the ATI PC.

Shadowplay is a really cool feature. Unless ATI comes up with something similar, I don't think I will even consider their cards, especially for something like WOFF, where the shared experiences enrich an already great sim.

As stated by Rick, I have to agree that even if all else were equal, the Shadowplay feature is a must have option. Even if you don't record and push stuff up to the web on a regular basis, once in awhile you're going to have that mind blowing mission that you want to be able to watch again and again. With Shadowplay running, it's just a keystroke away to record and save it. It's even already highly compressed in file size compared to, say, FRAPS.
Also, I'm sure Radeons are wonderful cards, but I've been an Nvidia guy for a long time now and never regretted a purchase.

I've always had Nvidia. Never had reason to change
