Nvidia or ATI

[Mwhaha]

do we pay discount price to you

The offer isnt available so it's a moot point

 

[crimsonnblue]

Both

I have had both, Each company makes cards equivelent to eachother is all about getting the biggest bang for your buck.

nVidia is great for gaming, ATI is great for working with video/image editing/etc.

You mean specificall the AIW capabilities right? Or were you referring to a specific architectural advantage in the GPUs?

I prefer Nvidia. In fact i have two of them and they use the same set of drivers. The one ATI card i did have didn't lase 3 mounths before it went out.

Went out due to what?

 

[jesbax]

I prefer nvidia 'cause their cards cool better on my comp and they're like rockin' fast for gaming........but their cards are a bit on the large side...

How so? It's quite readily accepted that ATi cards run cooler ...

I though nVidia cards ran 10-20C hotter, because the chips they use have a die temp of like 100C while ATi mostly die at 80C. It might be different for newer cards though i dunno...

1. They do. My above post was boarderline rhetorical
2. I dunno about 100 and 80 tho ... thats about twice what im runnning and the chip's more than able to handle past 120C

I think Nvidia, because they are a bit cheaper, first of all if you can find a good deal. I read on "guru of 3D" that new Nvidia models (GeForce 6800 GT and Ultra) run cooler than ATi's Radeon X800. Not bashing ATi, I just prefer Nvidia. They have a lot more models to choose from too.

Got a link on this?

Whoa definitely not ... ATi's damn near flooded the market with products

To defend my ignorance, I haven't seen as many Radeon Cards around the Internet as I have Nvidia Cards. Maybe the design of the Nvidia website makes it seem like they have more products.

I am a proud Canadian and I use ATI

 

[Kboy]

ATI, that's all I've ever used, and I guess I feel some loyalty to them, lol.

 

[john1979]

I use both for differant reasons, for my home server/file storage i use Quadro 4 FX3000 256MB AGP 2xDVI-I, and for my main pc on the network (gaming pc) i am currently using an ATI x800.

For gaming i will stick with with ati but for server/network point access i will stick with the quadro seeries of cards.

 

[Praetor]

I'm Canadian too and Im ashamed of the marketing practices of ATI

use Quadro 4 FX3000

Oooooh fancy

 

[john1979]

don't know about fancy, but reliable.
