ATI is the Best Among Graphics... bcoz: Ati: value for money, Best Compatibility, Futuristic technology integrated , High ned processing of chipsets, Downsides: Bad drivers and Software support, But Catalyst 7 X onwards show an increased performance in chipsets,. Nvidia: best driver integration Superior functionality Involves High end Digital processing technique... Downsides: Power hungery chipsets, Have muscle to play around but no Superior stability, If ur serous to to some common and new games. Go for Nvidia If ur VEry very Very Serious About ur graphics go for Ati.

Nice sales pitch.However I don't quite agree.Both Nvidia and ATI are extremely competitive.Nvidia has a good overall selection of mid range cards.Traditionally Ati has always been better for roleplaying and strategy games whereas Nvidia is great for firs person shooters.That being said I feel cards ftom both stables offer a a extremely good performance.Its all depends on what cards the games are optimized for.Hl2 for ati whereas as doom 3 for Nvidia.

@ NEO I wonder what makes you think "Ati has always been better for roleplaying and strategy games whereas Nvidia is great for firs person shooters". Any logical explanation ?
