I prefer ATi, because: 1. To my eye, the image quality is superior to nVidia 2. The nVidia driver still prevents my TV card from working full screen at anything 640x480x16bit
But that's just me....

About three months ago, I did a comparison of nVidia and Radeon cards for a 3D/OpenGL project I'm working on. We had everything from an old Quadro2Pro to the latest Radeon that Dell is shipping. We had two evaluation critieria (1) smoothness of screen movement, e.g., when rotating or panning a sceen and (2) quickness of screen updates, e.g., recompiling OpenGL display lists. ATI/Radeon scored highest for #1 but was significantly slower for #2 nVidia scored a little lower for #1 but was significanlty faster for #1 My conclusion is that the ATI drivers to a better job at optimizing the OpenGL display lists, hence their zippy graphics response. The downside is that the extra optimization takes time and CPU cycles, slowing down screen updates. Hope this helps, Buddy Coffey Advanced Electromagnetics
