OT: ATI or NVidia

[bloodline]

I have an old TNT2 a Geforce2 and a Radeon9000... the ATI is obviously the most powerful card I own is is really good for modern games. I've found all the cards to be very good, especially my TNT2 which I expect would survive a nuclear war...

If I were to get a new card tomorrow, I would get the 6800, because It's had good reviews and it's a good price. Also I find the Nvidia numbering scheme easier to understand.

I would suggest getting the cheapest card that meets your spec.

ATI are known to have more intelligent sollutions to problems, rather than nVidia's brute-force approach.

Yeah, I've heard that too. Reminds me of AMD vs. Intel somehow.
Also Nvidia killed 3dfx (which was a cool company imho) and they refuse to freely release information about their cards to developers. So I would go for an Ati card, but thats of course only my personal opinion.

3Dfx killed themselves by being crap. Ati are just as lame about giving away technical information about their cards (there is a reason why only Nvidia cards are directly supported by AROS at the moment, other than via the VESA driver).

Obviously one would get a Nvidia just so that they can use it with AROS :-D
