3D CG AND Gaming Video Card Options

I am thinking about getting a new video card for my older brother for Charismas. He does a lot of 3D CG art and makes playable models for UT2004. He is currently running an Nvidia GTX 260 by MSI (I think). He has been looking at some work station graphics cards, but they are very expensive for a mid level card and (from what I have heard) they don’t run computer games very well.

I have been thinking about getting him the Nvidia GeForce 670 GTX by Gigibyte (GV-N670OC-2GD, the same card I’m running).
