Thread: Nvidia or ATI ?

I am currently using Geforce 9800 GTX+. It's pretty superb, ranking 35 out of all graphics cards according to this site. I got it around 1.5 years ago and only one major problem, which I doubt is related to the card.

Seeing as the topic is Nvidia vs ATI, I really don't choose any sides. Nvidia provide alot of support for games and therefore tweak their drivers regularly for that purpose. I have never owned owned an ATI card, but if it's gaming your planning to get into, then nvidia would be a good choice. If it's video/heavy rendering your going to be doing, ATI cards would be a good option. Again this is my opinion.

Currently it looks like ATI is dominating the DirectX 11 market, seeing as they released compatible cards 6ish months ago. With nvidia's latest card(GTX 480) being the first card to provide support for DirectX 11, it's said to be too power hungry and expensive, although performance is nearly double older cards due to the new fermi build. Unless Nvidia pull's up their socks, it looks like ATI may begin increasing the size of their slice of the market.

That's a pretty false claim. The latest card from nvidia is quite a lot better than the HD 5870. True the prices are high, but I am sure that production of the new nvidia card will drop as the architecture of the card becomes more popular.
