If you dont mind the price, buy Radeon 5870 or GTX 480 .
They are top for amd and nv atm.
Just make sure they are properly cooled, so buy a model with non-stock cooling.

I just swapped my 3 nvidia cards for 3 ati (same pricerange) and the new ones are almost 300% faster so i would without a doubt go for ati.

Ok, i know this thread is old but still wanted to reply

AMD/ATI is much more better for GPU cracking in my opinion!

ATi Radeon HD 5970 the most powerful card right now

2x 6970s will out perform a single 5970 and are roughly the same price.

Because GPU's become finicky (IE: games will work fine, but GPGPU will fail) I would not suggest buying one second hand.

6990 is faster than 5970 at both ALU-bound and memory-bound tasks. However, it needs more power and the heat dissipation problem is worse with that GPU.

6990 is also slower than 2x 6970's
