“ATI has been a great partner on the engineering front. Our work with ATI has enabled DirectX 9 functionality that wouldn’t have been possible with any other company,” said Gabe Newell, Founder and Managing Director, Valve. “ATI’s hardware gives our customers the best experience with our software. So we’ve chosen to extend our relationship to include marketing initiatives that will showcase both Half-Life 2 and RADEON products.”

Lovely stuff.

Looks like the decision between an Nvidia and a Radeon has been decided for me.

Shrewd bit of marketing on the part of Valve/Sierra and ATI.
Valve recognised that the ATI cards support DX9, while ATI recognise that Valve make the most played online game.

A marriage made in heaven.
Unfortunately
It's still not going to make me pay out a couple of hundred quid just to get a couple of extra visual bells and whistles.
