If you want to spend the money, nvidia is faster.

I always suggest Nvidia now, purely because of the nightmare experience I had with my 4870 and my girlfriend has with her 5870.

I always recommend ATI as I've never had any problems with them.


Read this in the context of the last couple of posts and my earlier comment rings true - it's down to personal preference. Of course some cards will be better than others based on their specs, but as for a comparison between the two makes that really is down to personal preference - as is choice of manufacturer/supplier. With ATI I've always found Sapphire very good.


Also, when people report problems with a particular card they need to confirm whether they over-clocked it at all.

Thanks very much guys. I have been running an Nvidia for some time now and have had no real problems with it. It did die once, but was replaced under warranty.


Someone told me that ATI works better with AMD processors and Nvidia with Intel. Is that just rubbish?

Rubbish.

AMD does offer Dual Graphics with their APUs and lower end 6000 GPUs but thats about it.

Just dont get an AMD chipset mobo if you go nvidia because those do not support SLI ( you have to use a ' patch ' ).

My personal experience has made me an nVidia supporter. However, there are people on both sides with good reasoning.
