Also, when choosing, remember that games are designed to run on specific GPU's/GPU drivers, so check your favorite games to see what they "run best on". It really does make a difference.
Okay, this isnt really true. Well sometimes it is, but its usually total bullshit. Nvidia pays developers to run that stupid "plays best on" thing while their games open, and its bogus. Some games that say that will actually run better on ATI cards.

Personally I like ATI cards a lot more.

Once again, it depends on the games your playing. You say it isn;t really true, then say sometimes it is... just like I said that sometimes it does make a difference depending on the game. I've had both nVidia and ATi cards in my current rig and I can 100% tell you that more games I played run better on the nVidia, and the nVidia was a inferior card when it comes to hardware. I had a 1950 xtx and it was shit for the money all things considered.

Also, I think nVidia's software and driver support is far superior, while ATi has been archetecture, but what does that matter if they have constant compatability issues?
