Vista - Which is a better one?

GTX 295 slaughters any current card and the 4890 is no match for it.

Please look at all the driver problems people are having with ATI cards. I helped my brother build a system and I recommended an ATI card and I am very sorry I did. He has had nothing but problems. I got an Nvidia 275 and haven't had the slightest bit of trouble with it.

i run an ati card and have had no issues with it at all.

Oops, sorry, I thought I was over at the 7 forums. He and many others have had many issues with ATI and 7. Check out the ATI driver threads over there and you will see what I mean.

Uhhh....the purpose of this thread is to help with a video card problem....not play the my card is better than your card. Whether it's ATI or Nvidia, problems persists, people need help.

Get over the fanboyism and Help with the issue at hand or leave!

what it all boils down to is how much YOU want to spend on a video card.

i spent $100 and got a ATI 4670 HD 1GB DDR3 PCI-E card, personally i am happy with it, it has ran everything i have thrown at it. yeah sure it is not gddr5 but it stills run great and is afordable.

have a look here and what there is
Micro Center - Graphics Cards > PCI Express Graphics Cards

Well I just found out that Nvidia is famous so the public considers it as the best even tho ATI has the best graphics card. (I DONT KNOW IF THIS IS 100% TRUE BUT I SUPPORT IT)

no its not true....... both company's produce great cards, Nvidia cost more, b/c its a true ''plug & play'' card, & driver support is superb.

ATI has raw power & they're cards are much cheaper for comparable performance, but driver support is shoddy, & ATI cards sometimes suffer on the H/W level with some setups.....

so both company's have pro's & cons....IMO

[QUOTE=skunksmash;1077931 GTX260, but Nvidia build quality & cooling capability far exceeds that from the ATI camp....

tell that to everyone that had a squealing 260,

gtx 260 squealing - Google Search

As far as the loose cooler, take that up with who made the card, don't blame ATI becauase one of the partners QC isn't up to par.

erm..... my 260 squeals.??, your point..??, its a known transistor fault which changes NOTHING!!, it is not loud, & does not hamper performance.

im not slating ATI so please jump off your ''fanboy'' bandwagon, anyone who wishes to belive ATI has no issues can go right ahead, but your only lying to yourselves....

many have no problems with their cards, & enjoy high performance at a low cost, but many DO NOT!!, i could count on one hand the amount of Nvidia troubles ive heard about in the last 2 years...... but if i was going to count ATI issues i'd need everyone on this forum to lend me their fingers & toes.....


so....as i said, there are pro's & cons to both company's but IMO its (70% > 30%) in favor of Nvidia
