I'll reiterate what I said earlier, then leave this debate as is. In my nine years of using ATI cards, I've only had one instance of a video card going bad due to heating issues. I think that's pretty good, especially since I kept an X800Pro running for better than 3 years.

ATI cards I’ve owned include a 8500LE, 8500, 9700Pro, AIW 9800Pro, X1300Pro, X800, X1650Pro 3870, 4850, 4890

Out of all those cards only the 3870 crapped out on me. That's pretty good in my book and I'm just calling it the way I see it as well

I've never owned any Nvidia products so I can't speak of their quality.

Oh, and Nvidia isn't exactly blowing ATI away in the cooling department either - ATI Radeon HD 4890 vs. Nvidia GeForce GTX 275 - TechSpot

Peace
