I have to ask.. What do you think is the best company for graphics cards.. I personally think ATI.. What do you have to say about it?

I like both. ATI is excellent for raw power, but NVIDIA has the other stuff locked down pretty tightly. I'd prefer ATI for 3D art, but I'd just as soon use NVIDIA for games, because of things like PhysX and 3D capabilities.

I like ATI. I used to like Nvidia, but with their recent 400 series..it isn't really worth it. Specs are nice, but the price arent.

I'm rocking an 5850. And I love it.

AMD has great power, the bang for its buck and etc. nvidia has good drivers down. But, some are not always that good.

ati almost supports everything :-o but ati isn't that good in great action games with lots of FPS drops... when ati goes 20 nvidia runs stable 30 but the peaks on an ati are bigger and cheaper

I used my ASUS 6600 128mb for 6 years, it ran almost every game today on moderate or low settings. The card outlived the motherboard it came with. I had it overclocked 24/7 too. I finally upgraded my graphics card to an ati sapphire 5770 1gb. Hopefully it will last as long as my nvidia 6600. I have no reason not to believe it will, because the performance is great. Especially upgrading from a 6 year old 6600. Pretty good for a mid ranged card aswell.

In my opinion both companys both have their ups and downs. Nvidia didn't do so well on the Ti series. You may get the odd bad driver from ati.

One ati card I had (x1050), had a driver problem. The card was no longer supported a long time ago. But the latest driver caused unbearable vpu errors and the only solution was to get an older driver.

ATI is easy on the wallet & good at processing video data nVidia is expensive and hard on the system (My opinion).
