At this moment I have a ATI HD 5870 iCooler 5 and I game a lot.

I want to replace the card for another, I don't have room in my case to add another 5870.

I mainly play games like Battlefield 3, but I can't play this game on Ultra high, for me is this pretty important.

So here are my questions:

Price is not an issue because computers are a big hobby to me and hobbies cost money :-)

Can anyone recommend me a better card, ATI or Nvidia does not mather to me.
Why is this card better?
