Just my 2c here on a dead horse that's been beaten into oblivion many times
over
I've been an nvidia fan for a fairly long time- since the days of the TNT2
cards, after being disappointed with the rage pro ati cards at the time.
Recently, I couldn't ignore the fact that the latest radeons were getting
very good benchmark results and were a good bit cheaper than the geforce of
the same price, so I thought I'd give it a shot and grabbed myself a radeon
9800 pro.
I've been disgusted with the "support" from Ati, I have a legitimate problem
with the card under certain circumstances and they fail to acknowledge it's
even an issue. I've become sick of it, returned the radeon and have a
geforce 6800 on order. Neither manufacturer is perfect but from my (limited)
experience, Nvidia seems to have the least glitchy problems, whereas there
seem to be tons of bugs with games listed in each release of the ati
drivers.
It's a shame because the radeon card was fast, but I'd personally take a
small performance hit for the sake of it all working properly.
