Differences between ATI and nVidia these days?

[Fenris]

Zero differance.

Driver problems, fan noise and general fanboyism is all personal opinion, for everyone who screams about ATI drivers you will find someone (like myself) who has never had a problem with drivers after owning 3 ATI cards, for everyone who screams that Physics and Cuda are pointless you will find games that support them and are better for it. For everyone who screams about fan noise will will find someone who disagrees.

Just go with what's cheapest.

Religious issues aside, there are also subtle and highly subjective differences in the image produced. I could not hope to define them, nor dare to say which is better, because it's not a better/worse thing. I just know things look a teeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeny bit different.....most recently seen while running benchmarks on my 280 and a 4850 box I was building for a friend, KVM'ing between them.


I should have course declare my colours, and say I prefer NV, but only really because ATI's drivers and I have long suffered a personality clash.

both the same.

I've gone to ATI after 9 years with NV, because NV were ripping us off and taking advantage of their lead in the graphics with refreshers of old GPU's.

Everyone - including me - thought ATI were dead, but surprised me with their 48xx series cards.

Welcome to the Dark Side! another 1 gone AWOL!

Anyone who buys a card for features like CUDA, PhysX, or DirectX needs their head checking.

Holy limited viewpoint batman.

CUDA powered dc works far better than on the equivalent ati gpu's.
