GTX 650, GTX 660Ti, GTX 670, GTX 680 all work OOB with OS X 10.8.2 and are equal or better than the HD6870 per the card specifications.

The 6870 works very well as long as you install it after you install OS X.

The 6870/6850 absolutely smokes a GTX650, not even comparable... I can't speak to the other Nvidia cards listed.
