    What you think, Which is the best One for Graphic Card...
    ATi or nVIDIA... Send....:eek:

    i've used cards from both vendors, n wht i can say is that really u cant just pick one.... both hav its weaknesses n both hav its strengths... for ex, nVidia cards right now are the best performing (speed wise) cards... n ATI cards used to give the best picture quality (but now from nVidia 8 series onwards they seem to be catching up to ATI)... different users might hav differenct opinions but actually they both are exellent vendors... but if u reaaaly wanna choose one, then i'd say to go for nVidia... the reason is that they seem to be much much more focused on their product n come up with new technologies in graphics much frequently than ATI n their competitor cards for ATI are alot cheaper... lets c what others hav to say too.....

    ATI vs NVIDIA

    well well a brother that ask da same Q as me. i used to argue da same question with my brother.............im fightin 4 nvidia n him for ATI. (im using a asus nvidia g force 7800GTX 256mb card now), when it comes 2 picture n video the quality is good on ATI, but i dnt c any different in both. needless 2 say most games r designed for nvidia cards. ATL still hav som problems with dual card setup(runnin wires r shit), but nvidia has a clean n gr8 setup 4 that. n ATI still hav some driver problems 2, 4 nvidia its smooth as slik....no problem wit drivers at all. if u ask me i recommend the nvidia, coz they r still strong. n when goin for a processor, well im stuck on that 2. the choice is up 2 ya weather goin for a Inter dualcore, core2 duo or AMDX2, AMD64, AMDFX. coz they both hav gr8 powerful processors. always go for a good. cheers.

    u r confused from ur username.I'll start from the easy Q.Right now u cant beat Intel with C2D from Athlons existing.U can only catch up with FX 70s but only catch up.Barcelona will do the task.But AMDs are dirty cheap now and Intel will become too.So AMD is facing hard times now with the aquisition of ATI which costed 6 bils.

    To the VGAs.
    ATI cards r usually better in graphic and video quality.Many ATIs come with HDCP,VIVO,AVIVO features so its like a theater.Can record easily too.
    Wired crossfire came with the first crossfire cards.Then it came into a bridge like nVidias and now usually they are software crossfired.there r 4 modes too which u can select.
    I dont think u use vista.Its a hell of a trouble with DX10 cards and 9 too with vista.Sudden reboots , crashing all the way,even playing solitaire too.They had the 8 series 6 months b4 in the market but still the drivers are shit.
    ATI too hav the driver probs but not that much about 40~50% frm nVidia.But X1950XTX is fine now as Ive heard.

    The games are designed for both.Remember the Game makers knw that they only have their game market in America/Europe.In Asia its pirated.So they only care about USA/Europe and there both have even shares.
    And since now steam is giving some games free for ATI owners , ATI cards hav a boost from marketing.And AMD hav aquired them so the chipset support and CPU support is available in the upcoming chips.
    Running a dual card setup means u get 50%max boost of performance.Normally u need them In xtreme conditions such as gaming in 30" displays.So the dual card setup only play a little role here.

    ATI is focused too.And the newest technology is also with them.HDCP+HDMI+AVIVO from RD 2900.Remember its to fight 8800GTS and it does that well.There is a nice description of how the card is arranged and designed all fresh at tomshardware.com.But its 26 pages long.If u r interested read it.Read from a mid point of view then read a good review of how nvidia 8800GTX is arranged.Compare the two.

    I mean Same Price range which one is the better performance......:confused:
    here u go.USD average prices.
    below 50 - RX1050 256MB
    51~100 - GF 7600GT 256MB or DX10 is 8500GT 256MB.X1650 is for 75 USD
    101~150 -125 - X 1650XT 256MB,150 - 8600GT 256MB
    151~200 - a lot. 8600GTS/7950GT low X 1950 Pro
    201~250 - X1950XT 256MB/512MB
    251~300 - 8800GTS 320MB
    300~400 - 8800GTS 640MB
    400 above 8800GTx or RD 2900 depend on ur needs.

    Performance wise, nVidia is on top, as of yet. But they still have issues with Vista - driver issues. Not the case with XP.

    ATI, while being slower than nVidia, probably because of immature drivers of HD 2900 cards, still gives better stability in Vista.

    Right now, I'm in neutral grounds. I can't choose one over the other because I'm using Vista. Once the driver issues (major ones which cause instabilities and game loading errors) are fixed, the criteria would merely be performance basis.
