Overall which GPU do you think is better for gaming? NVIDIA or ATI?

just curious to see. personally i think ATI is better. but my tech savvyness is probably somewhere in the middle.

4850 is relly good. but im just asking wut company is just best at making good gaming cards.

honestly it goes back and forth, one generation ati may be ahead, like lol now for instance, and one generation nvidia may be ahead, like maybe the one to come.

its been this way for a while.

It varies from generation to generation. Atm I'd say ATi.

right now its ATI easily, but hopefully NVIDIA comes out with something special soon cause they need to keep pace with the 5000 series.

It comes down to driver support for your operating system and directx, afterwards i go by specifications.

I still prefer nVidia cards over ATI. Of course, that also might have to do with EVGA being my video card company and they only make nVidia cards. So, that limits my choice quite a bit. Although, I have a ATi 4500 for my HTPC and it does a very good job running my media system.

ATI so far, but Nividia always have a knack for taking back whats theirs.

ATi is better overall. The thing with Nvidia though is that pay many developers to become partners and they gain better optimizations for their cards. But 5xxx series is too sexy right now, low temps/low power usage and good performance. Fermi is going to have to do something grand to take the crown.

At the moment, ATI.

03 ATI

04 ATI.

05 Tie.

06 Nvidia.

08 Nvidia.

09 tie.

currently atm ATI has the lead with thier DX11 cards, but im just waiting for Nvidia to make thier next gen cards
