Hardware Hangout

Cheesus · 10-12-2009, 07:53 AM

I've heard alot of different opinions about each brand, and i'm curious to hear what you guys think about them.

Slingshot377 · 10-12-2009, 08:07 AM

Nowadays, I would say go with nVidia.

bowen317 · 10-12-2009, 08:18 AM

It depends on the price. I would go for either.

Picard1595 · 10-12-2009, 09:28 AM

Also depends if you plan on running linux alot, if so go with nVidia if not go with whatever you like but the New ATI cards a pretty nice and ATI rarely has the driver issues that nVidia has in windows. Also nVidia has way more problems with there hardware failing lately not sure why.

RivalTech · 10-12-2009, 09:29 AM

Yeah
I agree with ATI.
But nVidia seems to be more smooth.

Cheesus · 10-12-2009, 11:37 AM

Thanks for all your replies, i've been thinking about build a new computer, the one im using is just way outdated, still on a single core.

Again thanks for your input, I think ill try out an Nvidia card and just see how things workout.

Picard1595 · 10-12-2009, 12:36 PM

ATI just released brand new vid cards you might want to check those out first

Bl00dyMurd3r · 10-12-2009, 06:04 PM

nVidia can seem to be over priced sometimes, so i would probably say ATI

XmasDummy · 10-12-2009, 06:18 PM

Nvidia is better..... =P

Slashmolder · 10-12-2009, 06:19 PM

You can't use physx on ATI cards.

I thought you could emulate it? or is that nvidia with whatever the hell ATI uses?

And you can't run DX11 games on nVidia cards, at least until Fermi is out.

So yeah, check what's most important in the games you'll run on it, and then decide which accordingly.

clanner · 10-12-2009, 06:59 PM

I'd go with Nvidia because they seem to have the best "bang for your buck" kind of cards right now like the 9000 series.

Sullivan · 10-12-2009, 07:56 PM

nVidia is what I use, its the more popular one.

b4n3 · 10-12-2009, 08:02 PM

nVidia all the way
I love my gtx 260

ra1nb0wz · 10-12-2009, 08:06 PM

nvidia-get the 9000 series- best value for your money

Ati is the best right now in price/preformance

Ati 5770 will be around $165 and it looks like it has the same power as the 275gtx. The card should be released this week
Ati 5850 beats the gtx 285 and is about $80 cheaper @ $260

Ati will also give you DX11 and 3 video out

physx isnt worth it, only a handful of games use it

If your looking for a sub $100 card, the ati 4850 and 9800gt are good choices

Mountaindew · 10-12-2009, 08:13 PM

If you want the best bang for your buck buy a 9800GTX it will run very good in any game and it will only cost you about 120.00

Yeah, I have the 9800 GTX+.

GUITARGUY · 10-12-2009, 08:24 PM

nVidia is beast, i've got the en9500gt top

Picard1595 · 10-12-2009, 09:16 PM

why get an older card though spend a bit more and get the new ATI 5000 series cards.

pepeogame · 10-24-2009, 09:58 AM

Of course nVidia. Ati only have buyers for his prices, but nvidia rocks.

karadj · 10-24-2009, 10:10 AM

nvidia i believe has alot more o.c programs id go with nvidia

TPain · 10-24-2009, 10:26 AM

Honestly, I'd go with the best guy, the most bang for the buck. But I'm running an Nvidia card from a couple years ago, 8800 GTS, was like $300+ at the time, still holding strong and decent graphics.

cmdr001 · 10-25-2009, 06:38 PM

Personally, ATI.

Maybe because I've been using ATI for a while, and it's not that nVidia is bad or anything, but personally I've been feeling quite comfortable with ATI for a while, especially now that their drivers don't seem to make the whole system crash every other hour.
