I've always used nVidia since their first TNT cards apart from a brief spell with an ATi 9800 card. Back then drivers were a little patchy, no as bad as some make out mind you but were not as strong as nVidia who seemed bulletproof at the time. I stuck with nVidia for a long time but having seen the performance on friends machines and that ATi's drivers are - in my opinion as good as nVidia's I took the plunge and bought a 6870 for a cheap upgrade. I've been very happy with the performance and may stick with ATi the next time aroudn though as always I'll evaluate the cards from both manufacturers but right now it seems like ATi gives the best bang for buck and I certainly would not discourage a member here from using them.
