There's a money thing happening behind the scenes, I'm sure of it. Why else would games be marketed with nVidia as "the way it's meant to be played"?

I have friends that are currently ATi users and they haven't had issues running anything current so who knows. I just don't like paying a lot of money for cards that can run just as well for something that costs almost twice as much.
Maybe the games being coded with one company in mind has something to do with it. But there's also games with "Runs better with ATI" on them. Nvidia will have the series 600 out by the time I have money to buy a new card and Ati will have the 78XX series too. I'll check them both out later and decide. I don't have much time to do a proper research and even less interest because I have no money for them atm.
