Between the Radeon 9800 vs Nvidia Ti 4800, there's no doubt that the Radeon 9800 is better. Why? the Radeon 9800 will run DirectX 9 games, where the GF 4 Ti 4800 is older DirectX 8 hardware. Also, the Radeon 9800 will probably run games up to twice as fast as a GF 4 Ti 4800.

The "equivalent" hardware for Nvidia vs ATI is the following:

DirectX 8 level cards:
Nvidia GeForce 4 Ti 4800 vs. ATI Radeon 9200 Pro (Nvidia wins here hands-down)

DirectX 9 level cards
Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 vs. ATI Radeon 9800 (Generally considered a tie)

Current high-end
Nvidia GeForce FX 5900 Ultra vs. ATI Radeon 9800 Pro
Nvidia GeForce FX 5950 Ultra vs. ATI Radeon 9800 XT

If you're spending the $$ to get an ATI Radeon 9800, make sure you get the "Pro" version.
