Nvidia vs. ATI

[plague1]

I am contemplating between getting an Nvidia or an ATI. I have always used ATI but i am thinking is it time to change?

I would rather you post cold hard facts over opinions, but i dont mind opinions. Some good or bad expiriences you have had with either would not be bad.

THANK!

nVIDIA

Pros:
-More performance for your money
-Has a sexy nymph and mermaid for a mascot (screw Ruby).
Cons:
-Uses more power
-High-end cards use 2 slots

ATI

Pros:
-Uses less power
-Most cards are space-saving
Cons:
-Most cards are more expensive than they're nVIDIA counterparts, while performing about the same or even worse

lol, if ur getting a really expensive pci E card, and plan on spending 500 bux, ati (x850 XT PE)
if ur limit is >200 then Nvidia

Eh. ATI only owns teh High-end market. They suck when it comes to mid-range. If you have $500 to spend, tehn go for ATI. But, if you only have about $200-$350 then settle for nVIDIA.

If you already have a 9800 pro, why are u upgrading? At least wait a while for the next series of cards to come in, you already have a great card capable of everythign thats out there right now.
