QUOTE(dino-m @ Mar 12 2005, 07:26 PM) What are you use?  I bought a P4 3.2/512 with an ATI 9600Radeon a couple of month ago, updated the drivers from the ati website and just got massive problems with the gfx. So i bought a Nvidia Gforce 4 128 MB and everything is running super smooth. I think that nvidia is getting there thinks better together than ati. (just my opinion) |

I use NVIDIA since I don't need to configure it. Plus, it's more Linux friendly than ATI. I would go for ATI cause it's a Canadian technology.

ATI Radeon graphics cards usually have a more compact cooling solution, while nVidia does not (some of them even cover up an extra PCI slot). Seeing that I like my PC to be cool, quiet and tidy, that is a big bonus for me.
Anyway, I never had any problems with the drivers, and according to the PC World magazine benchmark tests, Ati Radeon cards are a bit faster than nVidia cards. So... ATI is my choice... |

If you want to be getting bang for buck, then ATi is a whole lot better. On the other hand, ATi drivers don't support OpenGL that well, and their linux drivers are very poor, too.
That said, I still love my Radeon stuff, and probably would never buy an NVidia card unless it was shown to perform a whole lot better. |

I prefer ATI cards for gaming... but sometimes nVidia is better... I'll waiting for the next generation ATI card... R520... So my Radeon 9700pro can have a break

Well personally i have used both, but now both of my computers run on ATI graphics cards. One is a Gigabyte Radeon 9600XT and the other is a Asus Radeon 9200SE and they are both ATI and so far so good.
