Nvidia or ATI?

[SpoOkie]

Name me one good game that uses 10.1??? Fucking DX11 is launching end of this year most probably Q1 2010 so shhh about 10.1 it does nothing.

As for price performance a GTX 260 core 216 55nm refresh is on average $10 cheaper than a 4870. So buy it on ebay.co.za and ship it here. You will save about R1000-R1500. Nvidia performance(better than ATI even with dual GPU cards because they actually make drivers) and extra wise(cuda anyone?) is excellent. They also solve driver issues within 48 hours of a game launch. ATI releases 3 drivers a year.

I've owned both (currently a Geforce 8800GT) and I have to say I cant stand ATI Catalyst Control Center. ATI has terrible drivers and thats why I don't buy ATI anymore. But I have no allegiance, I buy what ever is best at my price point at the time and when the 8800GT came out, it was the best at it's price point.

When I get my PC I'll be getting the GTX 260.

Oh well to bad...Don't care what any of you ATI haters say..My xfx ati 4850 is on the way and I so can't wait anymore!!!

The Ebb and flow of the never ending battle. I'd dont prefer either of them, whichever one is good at the time is the one I will look for. All of us living in this country no monopolies are a very bad thing (kaff, kaff, telk*m) so the better the competition the better for all of us.

Nvidia all the way! It really does come down to personal preference though.

[mcryan]

Matter of preference I suppose. They both make fantastic and reliable products, I've always gone Nvidia and it's always been a winner for me. So, that's the route I will continue to take.

ATI gives the best value for money at the moment.

I totally agree, that ATI gives the best value for money. I upgraded from an Nvidia XFX 8800 GTX XXX Edition to an ATI HIS 4850

I prefer ATI, now with AMD & ATI teaming up. I think its a good combination to stick with as their new designs will most probably give the best performance when used together.

[Jase]

I used to be Nvidia all the way but switched to ATI due to cost vs performance (I refuse to spend RxXx for marginal perfomance gains) and have stuck with ATI ever since.
