I allways go for nvidia for one main reason, ATI's have a problem with the TV output on most of there graphics cards meaning you get wavey lines across the picture! The only reason i got for Nvidia is beucase i use my computers to playback videos though the telly, so it really depends what you use your computer for!

ATI all the way I started using ATI cards about 2 years ago would not go back to nvida unless some one gave me GeForce 8800 Ultra for free

I'm the opposite to satdish always had nvidia since a dodgy ati card about 5 years ago. Tho to be honest they are probably both as good as each other. Down to personal preference.

I am using ATI at the moment but otherwise have no arguments either way apart from the price which pushes me in the way of ATi slightly.
