Nvidia VS ATI -2009-

Which one do you guys think is better?

I'm currently using NVIDIA.:o

I happen to like nVidia. Got quite a bit of nVidia hardware in my PC: graphics card, motherboard chipset, network card, and network bus enumerator.

I also like that they have an excellent response to support questions, and I've never encountered any driver-related problems.

I'll also say that even though I like nVidia, I don't see the point of busting ATI's chops. They make good products as well.

Nvidia's driver support is just too good. ATI has a year lag in terms of their newer devices. Which speaking of, the 295x has been very nice. Doesn't consome much power either.

ATI is the price:performance king. I've used products from both brands, but i've always been more impressed by ATI especially for the price. I've never had an issue with the drivers either.

PC Hardware Thread is :arrow:-o way.

To answer you're question,for me Nvidia is better.

Ive used both brands through the years..i do have a soft spot for ATI, but at the end of the day i go for whichever has the best performance to price ratio at the time.Despite what brand it ends up being.

i picked ATI cause i recently bought a 4890 :oops:

If ATI would get some physx, I might go back to them, but if no more games use it, I won't bother with Nvidia

before the 4890 I would have said Nvidia, but now that the 4890 is out its ATI that wins.

Which game even use Physx?Shadowhawk000

Just off the top of my head - Unreal Tournament 3 and Mirror's Edge. There are surely more, with more games on the way.

To what broken_bass_bin said, add Dark Sector, plus Cryostasis has been updated for Phys-X (patches for those who already have it).

I'm using Nvidia 7600GT, I used to use ATI. When I got this video card, I realized that Nvidia is better with shadows

Hmm... i think you are quite wrong about Mirror's Edge if u actually compared PhysX enabled and disabled. Here is a comparison video hope you guys like it.Video not by me =D and credits to the person that posted it.

This is PC Games, not PC Hardware.
