just curious as to what most people like in the ways of GPUs

I prefer ATI because they seem to have a video card for every price range, whereas there's a jump from the GTS250 and the GTX260. In terms of bang for the buck ATI seems to have the upper hand too.

I have always bought nVidia when it came time to upgrade my video cards, but I think after what happened with the 8xxx to 9xxx series, price gauging, etc, I am going to support ATi... especially now that XFX is a board partner. I bought a Sapphire HD 4830 for my brother, I was tempted to give him my 8800GT =P

I think ATI is a little better value these days with the 48xx series cards. If you are getting a GPU for folding then Nvidia is definately the way to go. I got mine for gaming so I went ATI (4870).

I have been mostly an ATI user for the last ten years. I had one Nvidia card during that time and had several problems with it, so I went back to ATI.

ATI is the best bang for the buck but the driver support is not really that great. Nvidia on the other hand is great but their GPUs cost too much.

My past 2 cards have been Nvidia and they haven't disappointed me. ATI's current low-mid range cards are a pretty good deal though.

Nvidia! PhysX for the win

I'm an ATi & AMD guy, and have been for years. In the last 10 yrs, I've bought like 1 Intel CPU, maybe 3 Nvidia GPU's, and like 20 AMD CPU's and 10 or so AMD GPU's.

Whatever offer the best bang for the buck when I'm in the market for a new video card. Current card is ATi but the last 2 before this one were Nvidia and then ATi before them................ Grin
