There have been a lot of issues with some of the 5000 series... I just built a new machine and recently and I got a 5770, having a batch of problems with a few games... did some research on them and there are tons of issues with the 5700 series, and the indication was that the 5800 series had similar issues. They keep releasing new drivers (the most recent just... 3 days ago) but it hasn't fixed anything for me. I've tried everything, I'm at the point where I've decided to return it and go the nVidia route. (Looking at the GTX 470)

Nvidia has had similar driver and hardware issues too. I hope you have better luck with a different card, but in real % terms I don't think there's much hard evidence either company is worse on drivers.
Also you should get the GTX 560 instead of the GTX 470.

Thanks, I just looked it up and I will get that instead. I hadn't looked at any nVidia cards in a while, didn't realize the 470 was replaced with something better for virtually the same price. I'm going to order one from Newegg this weekend.

They're selling 900MHz versions at the same price as the stock 822MHz ones, so definitely get one of those. There's also a 1GHz version but it's not available on Newegg at the moment.
