Hi there. I'm new here and I wasn't sure if should have posted this with a thread already in use. Anyways, my question is whether I should get an ATi or Nvidia card. I was thinking of waiting for a card like R300 or a NV30, so that I could get a DX9 compliant card, but when reading this new item:

I'm not so sure anymore. If these cards (which are coming out in fall?) don't have DX9, then should I not get one? Also I have a Radeon AIW right now and I think I can say for most of the ATi card owners here that ATi drivers *suck*. It would do fine in some games, (ok time to explain, I have a PIII 600, with a GF2MX and a P4 1.4, with RDRAM and a Radeon AIW) the P4 would do much worse than my PIII. I remember reading a thread about really bad ATi drivers and I was wondering if the smaller cost of ATi cards is really worth it.
I was hoping if any of you people could help me choose a card.
P.S. Tom's Hardware is the best tech site!! Thanks for the great work!
