Looking to buy a new video card and have been reading up on all the latest between ATI and NVIDIA. I've also been talking to my friends who keep up with this sort of thing and depending on who I talk to, I get various answers. Seems their are people who are pro ATI or pro NVIDIA and have no problems bashing the other side. What I've been trying to do is find some of the facts that I've been told are the reason why they don't like ATI or NVIDIA. So far I haven't been able to find much to support some of the claims against NVIDIA, even searching here on Tom's I haven't found anything that specifically mentions this problem. The problem I'm talking about is a supposed documented fact that a DLL in NVIDA will crash your system on a regular basis.
My current card is a GeForce 5500 and has ran like a champ for me, over the years, but it's getting a little long in the tooth and thou haven't had any huge issues with game play, it's looming with DX10 coming out.
So, can anyone point me to hard facts about this crash problem NVIDIA seems to have, according to my friend who is a hard and fast ATI person.
Thanks for your time.
