Ironworks Gaming Forum - View Single Post - If you think new Geforce is quick check this ATI card

Actually I know the fact that ATI is catching up to nVidia, but having learnt a good lesson from 3Dfx, I would rather stick to cards that are most compatible with majority of the games.

Of course many ATI fans will flame me for accusing ATI of not being compatible to games, but from many game developers' forum, there seems to be more post on "Graphic problem with ATI..." compared to "Graphic problems with nVidia..."

The last thing I want is to load up new games and then proceed to download latest driver from X manufacturer or sometimes download driver version x.xx from the manufacturer's website. Thanks but no thanks.

Since the launch of the new Geforce 6800, nVidia has gain a momentary adavtage over ATI in term of performance; but this is an ever going war and no one is the clear winner until the last one standing, in the case of Creative vs Aureal. But then who knows if there are parties waiting to topple (or die trying) Creative later on? Right now, I am putting my money on the safest horse, it may not be the fastest but it will get me home safely. If one day ATI proved that it could be more compatible than nVidia, I would probably switch to ATI too.
