I game at 1680x1050, I like max AF and pretty much max AA. I game at 1680x1050 and currently have a 4870 1 gb. Would upgrading to a Gtx 285 yield any benefit fps wise? I use vsync as well..
why? you should be able to max everything. and at that res crossfire is a waste, and the GTX285 is equal to a GTX285. if you were at 2.3mp that would be different but unless your getting a new monitor a GTX285 is not an upgrade to you.
not to mention that a 4870X2 is around the same price as the GTX285 and outclasses it. not that you would see the difference here.
I just returned my 4870 1gb and bought a EVGA GTX 285 for $329. Most 4870X2's are still well over $400.
Plus when you go with the GTX 285 you get:
Better drivers
Cuda Support
Better power efficiency/heat
OC's to damn near 4870x2 performance without the dual GPU issues/ micro stutter headache.
3D vision if you ever go down that route
Is there any proof showing that nVidia driver is better?

Well I don't have to use 3rd party programs to gain the options that nvidia has in theirs by default such as:
Game profiles
Forcing Triple Buffering and Vsync ( the CCC option doesn't force Vysnc in some games for me, including Fallout 3)

I currently have an ATI HD4870 512 MB and was wondering if it's worthy to upgrade to a GTX 285. I game at 1680x1050 with filters at maximum.
Hardly a solid evidence but since you insist...If you search the web you'll come across many more complaints of ati driver instabliity vs nvidia driver instabillity even from fanboi's so maybe no statistical evenidence has been accumulated but it is out there for the statisticians to record. If you already game at 1680x1050 with filters maxed then no need, if you want to then gtx 285 wil come down in price here shortly i'd assume maybe 1month max.
