ATI and NVIDIA are without doubt the best gfx card brands in the world. I now have a NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600, and I can play games with awesome gfx quality, and haven't got any problems yet.

plumpegg, i used to have a radeon 9600 too, burned out in a few months, couldnt play jack shit of todays games.

Bought a GeForce 7800 GS which has lasted me until now where i upgraded my PC, Joe (admin guy) is buying the 7800 off me, i'm currently borrowing a radeon x550 for 2 months, which is on the edge of burning out already.

Getting my 8800 soon as possible.

I complain about fanboys but im pretty much a sucker for all things ATI. I think they brainwashed me or something.

I've owned 3 nvidia cards so far, including my current onboard. I'm planning to get an ATI card soon. Might as well get some experience with one.

they both have their advantages so you cant say "nvidia pwns ati" or vice versa. depends on what your going with
high end = nvidia
mid to low end = ati

When it comes to support ATI is ways better. Same goes for the image color quality, processing time, control panel etc..
But NVIDIA has the better developer portal and more resources about there cpu/gpu/ppu techniques (http://developer.nvidia.com/page/home.html)
Thats the reason why I (And 90% of the game-developers) like NVIDIA more. If ATI would supply the developers with more information and give the full set of features for opengl and directx they would have much better cards. I think ATI lost back in 1999 when they stopped providing samples of code for new pu's. Microsoft and most of Torvalds OS switched to NVIDIA optimization then.

6600GT, lasted nearly 2 years, and can still run new games quite well.

Quote from: ImPaKt

rekees, you cant use 2 different cards in dual card mode, they have to be the same processing unit, like 2x 8800 GTS or 2x 7900 GT, an 8800 GTS and a 7300 GTX shouldn't work, if it does, it probably gets held back somewhat and cant work efficiently.

He probably can, he could have 2x 8800GTS and 1x 7300GTX running as physx card
And brandon fucking shut up

using a gpu as ppu would suck so hard I doubt you'll have any fun with that in anything beside aegia games (which mainly suck)
