It really depends on what you want. Kinda like AMD or Intel. For higher range graphics cards with a hefty price you can't beat ATI. Their higher range graphics cards dominate. For moderate range graphics cards NVIDIA owns the market. So unless u have over $500 to spend on just a graphics card NVIDIA is the best option.

I look at it this way. AMD and ATI go together since AMD owns ATI (i think? lol) and Intel and nvidia seem more popular together. I'd have to go with nvidia since Intel is the most popular of the two and it just seems more right. if you have AMD of course you're going to say ATI. well, most of you.

You should only compare chips that are meant to compete with each other
i.e. geforce 6600 vs radeon 9600

You shouldn't associate CPU and Graphics cards, it doesn't make sense. As long as you get the best CPU and the best graphics card at the time you buy your PC. For example back when I bought my PC, the best on the market is AMD (with their athlon 64s) and Nvidia (with their 7000 series). ![]()

Well I would have to go with Nvidia the 9000 cards rock upgraded to the EVGA o/c 9800 SLi it was a great idea.
Right now I am running my older Diamond 3870 crossfire set and it runs nice to but not like my 9800 SLi set up did..never leave cards over clocked while at work when the ac goes out its a very sad day when 9800 SLi set up popped it was over 100 degrees in my house when i got home.... |
