Metro 2033 is almost "built" for Nvidia video card.. on the other hand, when you look at all the FPS on average, 5850 is generally 15% faster than GTX460 (
http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2...ized,2486.html 5850 Score: 660-610, GTX460 Score: 495-620)
There are also many "variant" of GTX460, which the price/performance could differ by more than 20%... (I got a EVGA GTX460 768MB a few months ago for $159 when 5850 were selling at $250, and most other GTX460 1024MB/OC/superclocked/etc were selling at $200-$240)
In terms of features, ATI also has:
- Eyefinity
- MLAA
- Displayport
- Better power efficiency
so it is hard to say one is better than the other in terms of features...
