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...

i think that ATI is good and im using it now .. but Nvidia is not bad though .. i would consider the prices first before buying smile.gif

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 wink.gif

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. smile.gif

Both companies are doing pretty good, except Nvidia fell behind a little when it acquired the "tainted" ( biggrin.gif ) engineers from 3dfx (which turned Nvidia boards to crazy gasoline... I mean power hungry demon mosters).

I use ATI, since I don't have a choice (its in my laptop). But its very impressive, 2 year old mobility 9600 and still runs everything perfectly.
Right now if I had to buy a gfx card, I would probably go with the Nvidia GF6600GT though. Otherwise I'm not gonna vote, because as I said, both make great cards and I'm pretty much on neutral sides with both companies.

  20. Nvidia Nforce 4 Sli X16

    After Nvidia made nForce 4 chip for AMD A64 processors and later nForce 4 Intel Edition, which
    serves to run Intel processors, they decided for the first major upgrade of this chipset. nVidia
    gained the most with SLI graphic cards and went a big step ahead of Canadian ATI in the graphic-car
    battle. The only bad isde of SLI was, that for its usage PCI Express X16 had to be divided to two
    sides which than worked only with half-speed (2X8). And this is exactly what nVidia wanted to
    change. The new nForce 4 SLI 16X is about to have two PCI Express bridges with full speed (....
  21. Matrox Introduced A New Graphic Card!
    (1)
    Some time ago Matrox introduced a new Matrox Millenium G550 PCIe, which runs on PCI Express x1. If
    you find it difficult to understand that x1, you are right, because usually graphic cards use PCI
    Express x16, especially the new more developed systems. But as soon as we look at the
    specifications, it becomes clear why Matrox decided for this x1 slot. On this card there is an old
    G550 processor, which is not capable to run modern gmaes (DirectX 7 support only, 2×2,...). But this
    card was not ment for that sort of users, servers and industrial computers are the targeted gr....
