Well, I guess it depends on what kind of CG you make.
I read about nVidia being better for Max's directX shaders(gaming), while ATI rules Open GL.

All I can add is that I have ATI 9600Pro 256MB for about 6months, and am very satisfied with it. Must be the memory, but it surely glides!:)
If you go more expensive, then I suggest 9800Pro or XT(around 300EU).

Hope it helps, and I bet Nvidia lovers will post their favs.:)

Graphics...hmm you need a gfx card to create them right ? Well it doesn't really depend which gfx card you have :) In 3dmax you can run with a GeForce 3 :) it will just enhance the gfx in the viewports . Also take note that RAM is the thing that makes the difference :) I currently have :

GeForce 5900FX 256 MB/Ram but I also have a GeForce 2 :) So it's not a big difference ;)
