I dunno, I have always had much better luck with nVidia. I've had two ATI cards burn up and neither one really handled the games I was playing very well (the problem always seemed to be water for some reason).

Really, it's six of one and a half dozen of the other to me though. I would still buy an ATI that was a good value. Let's just be thankfull there is some competition or we would be paying $1000 for a decent card.

I remember playing Jane's WW2 Figthers...3DFX cards were the best for this game with its " glide" api that nVIDIA did'nt have at that time...But then 3DFX was gone...And so its fabulous "glide"...

Then we had OpenGL....Who had the "best " OpenGl api ?

Now its DX11...

So everyone is equal now ! May the best win !

Salute !

Regarding NVidia vs Ati, please leave it alone in this threadh.

Oleg allredy said that (as far as i can tell) Ati isnt intrested on the same level NVidia is in cooperating. Dont ask me why, but it sounds typicall Ati. (AMD)

Harsh i know, but thats how i intepret it.

Ah yes... the Voodoo cards. I had a Voodoo II and used it for Half-Life, Carmageddon 2 and such... Then System Shock 2 caught my eye, and it would crash on the Voodoo. So I bought me a Matrox G200. Nice memories.

Fine with me if DirectX will be the only standard for the future. I've had enough of all those different standards. It wastes money and time for both consumer and developer.
