im not really a big gamer, so the exact this ati card is 2 fps better than this nvidia for the same price or whatever im not so fussed about.

the things i do more are playback HD video and use a browser. i know a long time ago nvidia cards offered slightly better video quality (at the expense of eating more gpu cycles and power) that equivalent ati ones. is that still tho case or are they both the same now?

also is either better for general browser acceleration, that would really sway me as i mroe or less live in a browser at times.
 
oh currently planning putting a new system together.

a new gpu id expect will happen soon after and id think arround £100ish or so, maybe go £150. its just that what ive looked at both companies seem to offer very similar benchmark scores. howovor the bits id expect ill use more often than gaming ie hardware video acceleration and browser acceleration never seem to get a mention.

so if thre was a marked difference it would help sway me to one brand over the other.
