Both cards play games great, although the GTX does not support 'DX11 only' games, thankfully not many.
The Radeon has a well known, common ATI driver issue, Google '5870 flashing pixel', which is easily sorted by tweaking the drivers (by default, the drivers underclock the card too much at idle). Once tweaked it works great, plays Shadow of Mordor, Far Cry 4, etc, no problems.

Both cards for sale due to upgrades.
No boxes or cables.
