Answer» Which of these two video card manufacturers do you favor the most? Why?
FlameNvidia, only because I have one.Would you prefer ATI?
FlameNo, I'm happy with my nVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4200 with AGP8X (Asus V9280), it runs really well for what it is. Time to upgrade soon. I have an nVidia 6600. I'm happy with the results. If an ATI worked as well, I'd use it. But the NVIDIA I bought, and the NVIDIA I enjoy. I may try ATI on my next upgrade. A long time from now.
The only real problem I've had with an nVidia is that a CERTAIN game doesn't run on the GeForce 6XXX series. I found that out the HARD way. But that's a software issue, not a hardware one. Nvidia 6600 here to. I enjoy it, and I have no problem with performance. I like ATI, but I would prefer Nvidia because I have more trust in them, and ATI hasn't really astonished me.Hmm, really? ATI not a good PERFORMER? Just so I have reference when I upgrade in the future, what problems have you had with ATI? You see, I get cursed out on the net (not in strong WORDS, more like "Why do you have a crappy nVidia card?" and even Raptor said, "nVidia is pap". I've never had any serious problems, except the limitation that comes with cards. It follows a basic principle:
The more you spend on a card, the better the performance.
OK, sounds like basic knowledge. But that's the only problem I have with video cards, period. If I only shell out $150 for a card, I get what I pay for. But if I fork over an additional $20, and go up several levels of video cards (Odd that an nVidia 5500 is only $20 less than an nVidia 6600) then you really do get what you pay for.
So, basically, I'd like to know what complaints people have about nVidia/ATI. My reason for choosing nVidia had to do with the fact that on forums I hear people saying of games, "Yeah, ATIs have a problem in that area. You can download the patch for ATIs at [insert link here]"
OK, nVidia doesn't have to have a dozen downloads to play a dozen games. It just... works for me when I have an nVidia. It isn't because I had a problem with an ATI (except on my old system, I quickly discovered the difference between AGP and PCI. since I bought an AGP and my old box didn't have such a slot on the motherboard).Hmmm, there are many other "video card manufacturers". XFX, eVGA, PNY, ASUS, Apollo, etc. Practically all of these "video card manufacturers" use a graphics chip manufactured by nVidia or ATI.
I prefer cards with nVidia chips. No particular reason; it's just what I've had the most experience with.NVIDIA because its the one i have and everyone i know has lol
