ATI Radeon HD 4870 suffering from premature deaths

[lovely?]

-maroon1-

1. I have Ati on my MSI motherboard with intel, and i know is working fine.

2. AMD was buy ATI to survive on market in struggle with Intel.

3. AMD owns ATI (Ati work for AMD), becouse that ATI works best with AMD, his chipset fully support Ati cards.

Nvidia work for Intel.

actually the relationship between nvidia and intel is very rocky, nvidia has made chipsets that they spent a lot of money on, and then intel makes chips that are not compatible with nvidia, its happened quite a few times. this and other things had nvidia and intel (in the past at least,) stressed.

EDIT: after looking around, the nvidia/intel relationship might be on the rise, but its hard to tell.
