I prefer ATI for gaming, it does anti-aliasing without loss of fps :)

ATi all the way, lol if you have a PCI-eXpress, go for a X1600 PRO 512 MB... very good card. that's what I got!

I paid 130$ CAN tx. included... good for gaming, and good for rendering!

I've worked with nVidia's card previously, they're not worth the price...

ATi is way ahead of nVidia in terms of innovation and performance. ATi is the best choice.

I have a 128mb nVidea geforce and its pretty good for running 3dsmax, lightwave, 3d games.

I never had an ATI card, I like nVidea enough to stick with it.

You can't go wrong with either company, but I like ATI the most...for unknows reasons.

ATI, simply is the best choice. Reliable and affordable for any purpose imaginable, simply perfect!

For me Nvidia.. they seem to have better dual monitor options. ATI cards stink at multipul panels.

I prefer Nvidia, mainly because I hated dealing with ATI's drivers.

Neither stay ahead for very long, Nvidia's 8800 beats everything at the moment and as soon the ATI R600 comes out Nvidia will release something better a month or so later...and so on and so forth.
