Okay... so Sony isn't going with ATI... still... this has me excited as I've played Unreal Tournament on Nvidia video cards before and they are amazing!

Interesting on them switching.

I have always liked nVidia, but I thought that ATI made better cards, just more expensive ones that I was not willing to buy.

Anyways, hope it turns out good for Sony.

I like NVIDIA's power to render environments, and ATI's processing power under a lot of load.

Meh.....nvidia is decent....I prefer ATI for overall performance though.

yeah but they are developing a new GeForce exclusively for the PS3 so we know not what this entails..... maybe a gorgeous processor with beautiful render power.

I can vouch for that statement, the nVidia card in my iMac made playing Nanosaur a thrill. The environment was one of the prime aspects of the game. Same with Bugdom.
