This is not a problem thread, but rather one that requires the opinion of a dedicated gamer.

The Question is simple: What do you think is more kickass, a gaming pc with nvidia or ati graphics?

Personally, I go for Nvidia. The 64 stream processors in my cheap (im not rich ok) 9600gt outrun the 320 processors in the HD3870 . There's something going on there.

They use completely different architectures, so no. All that really matters is price/performance or for some people just performance.

All fanboys are retarded. In before flamewar.

For future reference never use "nvidia or ati" ever again. I personally buy from evga for nvidia, but my current motherboard is a integrated ati hd 3200. So I bought a new radeon hd 4770 to try out the 40nm and ati.

It doesn't matter really but at different budget (levels) sometimes Ati wins and sometimes Nvidia wins. It also depends at what resolutions you are playing at ,and what games you are playing

Check out benchmarks on the games you play. Some games work better on one card or the other. Get what works for you.

Both companies have solid products and at this time Nvidia has the crown on top end cards, but thank ATI for the lower prices.

I personally use a 4870 and have not problems with it. This is a card I only bought because 8800GTX + Vista = Too many games crashing out(Instead of placing blame with MS, i tried an old X1900XT and all problems where gone). Most(not all) issues have since been fixed. As long as you are not playing every pay and free game ever released, you will not see this kind of issue.

I love them both, owned Geforce 2 gts, then geforce 3 ti then ti4200, then 5200 and ati 9700 pro, Geforce 6800 vanilla, ati 1950 pro (still own this) and hd4870,( in my current gaming rig)

I will always buy at the correct price/performance (determined by the current resolution I game at) at the time, ATI had driver issues I recall with the 9700 pro but since then both have been good

Looking forward to the future I am not sure if I will stay ATI if Physics becomes mainstream in the gaming developement as I dont want to lose out there (I know ATI have Havock implementation but no real working products yet) and I will definately be looking at Sli-Xfire on my next build 2010
