The ATI performs slightly better at most games, and *I think* its cheaper too.

If I recall corerctly Nvidia was a wee bit faster but ATI had better picture quality and IIRC ATI was cheaper.

I like Nvidia but if the ATI was almost as fast, and it is, and it was cheaper I'd go ATI.

BTW, I am a Nvidia fan but I just bought a Radeon 9559.Why? because it was best card for the dollar and I could nt affordt a 5900XT.

in recent benchmarks on the Source engine for Half Life 2, 9600 cards fell behind 9800's by almost 15 fps. it still can run stuff well, but as long term, it could fall behind...god, technology keeps improving so fast. everything becomes instantly out of date :(
