anyone plz..i want ask ATI N NVIDIA WHAT IS DIFFERENT? and which is more better??
nvidia n ati
- Thread starter techno_workers
- Start date
well there two different brands, ATI offers affordability and NVIDIA offers stability and quality. Personally I have an nvidia card so I may be biased but I would say NVIDIA are better as their quality of product and service is perfect. Other people mights say that ATI is better because of affordability and performance.
its personal preference really

Both make good and stable cards in the current generation.
Take your price range and see what cards fit into your budget. Look over benchmarks and what special features the cards have (Physx Eyefinity 3D etc...) to make a choice.

okay thank you
You can find a little more about the ATI and Nvidia brands at:

The bottom half of the page talks about the two designers.

Let's hope this doesn't turn into a long debate over which is better

There really is little to separate them in terms of real world performance. In the past, ATi cards have been notorious for running very hot, which in turn makes them significatnly louder than their Nvidia counterparts. However, the newer generation are all pretty similar.
I would say at the very top end, Nvidia holds the crown for outright performance. But in the mid/mid high end bracket you are spoilt for choice, with very little to separate one brand from the next.
That said, there is a slight edge. I have found that in SLI / Crossfire setups, the Nvidia drivers are considerably more stable and offer better framerates with significantly less microstutter than the ATi drivers. However, driver development is a work in progress and is prone to change.

That was true in the past. But now Crossfire scales just as well or better with the 6000 series.

Nvidia cards have always run hotter, probably due to their higher power usage. They are cards that do a lot of things though, so the power usage and heat is justifiable and perhaps worth investing in better cooling solutions. Where gaming is concerned however, some games take to Nvidia's cards better(such as Metro 2033). While other games take to Radeon's cards better(such as Mafia 2). Radeon has some things Nvidia doesn't, and the opposite is also true. As far as high end dual gpu cards, I don't see Nvidia ever taking the crown from Radeon, while on single gpu's I don't see Radeon taking the crown from Nvidia anytime soon. Radeon cards have always been more affordable than Nvidia's performance equivelant with high end single gpu cards.

If we're talking dual card setups, then yes there is little between them. But for tri or quad setups, the Nvidia drivers are more efficient. This has been my experience working with both setups over the last few years.
efficient

They are both very similar. I picked a ATI card over a similar NVIDIA card simply because it looked cooler. XFX cards come with cool looking fans 
lol it's just the same as Intel vs AMD, hard drive versus hard drive, motherboard vs motherboard, PSU vs PSU, there is none better than the other. And, as stated before, it's a preference. I've owned both nVidia and ATI cards. They all have worked just as they should, and still run just as they should.

Except the current range of AMD chips can't even come close to the current Intel chips in terms of performance. The only place where AMD close the gap is with their 6 core CPU's running heavily multithreaded applications.

It doesn't matter it isn't there, a 580 is just a 570 with shaders unlocked, so would scale the exact same as the 570 does as it is the same architecture.
Top end no, but the Intel chips can't come close to AMD in terms of price/performance. Mid range, AMD's top end (Phenom II x4/x6) is on par with Intels mid, which are considerably more expensive.
Right now if I was swapping out my processor, I would save and go for a 2500k, but that is only if I had to buy now. In reality, I'm waiting to see what Bulldozer offers, because it looks very promising and could put a stop to Intel's top end dominance

Really? Intel still dominates the top end that bad? So the i7 930 and all that are that much better than than the Phenom II 6 core?
And are you saying that if I were to get a GTX 570, I could overclock it too a 580's stock performance, and then some to match an overclocked 580?
