ATi or Nvidia?

[Twigsoffury]

Do you own a ATi or Nvidia video card?

What if you have both?
I have a pair of 9800GTX+s in the main rig, but my laptop has a 5450 and my bro has a 5870...

They both have good cards, but ATi seem to have lower power and thermal requirements. However I'm a bit of an NVidia fanboy.... althought I'm not happy with NVidia of late with PhysX being disadvantaged on CPUs, and NVidia refusing to even allow PhysX with another GPU in your system. That being said.... I'm probably going to sell off my 9800GTX+ and get a GTX460.

I go for whichever offers the best price for performance which was ATI.

mmm... i own a 9800gt, but i picked it up for a song and a dance, the next one will probably be ati, or nvidia, i dont really care, ill get the best card in my budget for performance...

own nvidia and have always been partial to them, but wouldn't mind having an ati and actually recommended them for 3 builds that i did for friends. the price point is a big reason why.

I have dual 9800gt cards right now, but I'd really like to go with an ATI card next. It all really depends on what will be best and offer what I want when I upgrade. What I want is,

1) Simple 3600x1920 triple monitor set up (eyefinity does it well now)
2) Possibility for 3d in that setup (anyone?)

Physx support would be nice, but unless I find some good reviews on Nvidia cards doing three monitors in portrait easily I won't be swayed. #1 is most important to me right now.

I'm in agreement - I lean toward ATi, but got a good deal on a pair of 8800GT/512s last autumn. My next build will most likely have an ATi card again - usually better value, once their drivers get worked out, and lower power consumption on average - but it's impossible to say right now.

ATi 4550....it's perfect for my uses. I'll probably get a stronger card (5000 series) for my new build.

Have nVidia 9600GT, and I am kind of a nV fanboy... for my next build I'll probably go for nV again
