No one is sure how well it'll play on Nvidia cards, but from what I've heard, Ati cards will run the game better and the game will look better also because Valve is taking advantage of some specific DX9 things that Nvidia's cards won't be able to do at all. So Valve, last I heard, is trying to make HL2 run as good as possible but they are having a hard time because they made it specifically around Ati cards using specific effects that won't hurt performance as much as it would on an Nvidia card. I'm not a fanboy to Ati, but thats what I've heard for awhile now.
