Nvidia has a pretty large market share, and I don't think that is due to die hard fans, they must be doing something right to captivate and retain some much market share.
 
My first card was an ATi Rage Fury 32MB 3Dcard, I then got a Voodoo4, which didn't do smoke effects very well, so I stuck with the ATi. My first big upgrade was to the Geforce MX440 64MB, awesome midrange card at the time, but it couldn't run BF2 so I upgraded to an ATi X800GTO which was awesome, but still AGP, so when my computer was upgraded I got the Nvidia 7600GT PCIe, which was the best thing since sliced bread to me. However in all fairy tales there must be a villain which turned out to be Test Drive Unlimited, I upgraded to the 8800GTS 320MB, but sold that PC. I have since then had an 8600GT, 7900GT, 7950GT, and now have settled on the power hungry ATi HD2900XT 1GB DDR4 Monster.

I have had more Nvidia cards, they are easier to install, manage, overclock, less power needy etc etc.

But for some reason I find myself with an ATi and I love it. It looks great, goes great, and mine is only running at about 50% effifciency due to PSU, which is going to be upgraded soon. But the card still outperforms the 7950GT, even at 50%. I just love saying I have the most powerful single GPU ATi have ever produced(to date). I can't wait to get that PSU.

My vote should be for Nvidia(Empire -Star Wars), but I went for ATi(The Rebels - Star Wars).

Eh?

AMD and ATI are one company now...

I think it depends on application and price range, they are both good, it is more about best bang for the buck now..
 
To me AMD and Nvidia go hand in hand. IDK, they just fit well together. I havent ever used an ATI but, nvidia just attracks my attention more. Just a personal preference.

Thats what I always thought as well, but then AMD goes and buys ATI, so who knows.
 
I have always like ATI's picture better, AMD however is lacking in the cpu market. So AMD bottlenecks their own graphics cards in a dual card settup :P
 
Price is an issue for me as im a teenager. Ya if i had thousand of dollars and wanted to show it off i would go for an intel but, I am anything but a fan of intel.
 
price is an issue for me, but i would still go nvidia.

if you cant afford an 8800gt then maybe you would get a hd3850 or 3870. but wait! you could get the 8800gs or 9600gt. which are equal. so nividia :)

By far ATI graphics cards are better on laptops, and Nvidia graphics cards are better on desktops. GeForce cards i've had in my laptops have been so undersupported and never worked properly.
 
Graphics on laptops are not designed to rival desktops anyway. The whole design of the laptop is for work on the road, so gaming is not very well accommodated in laptops, if you game on a laptop, then you have too much money to waste. And Intel and Nvidia all the way, the extra you spend on it is worth it, Intel CPUs perform better at stock and they can overclock much higher than any AMD CPUs and the same goes for the graphics side, the overclocking head room is quite big for Intel and Nvidia.

Well Put! Makes sense but, i would still rather go with AMD. Like i said before if i had the money i would switch out my mobo and go buy a Q6600 but, thats not the case.
 
at the moment I liem Ati better. I find it stupid that you have to geta 600Watt powersupply to run a grafic's card, and a 1kW one for SLI for example. sorry, but imo grafic's cards are going in the complete wrong direction there. I picked a 3870 over the 8800gt(s) because of the lower power consumption, and I definately dont regret making that choice.
