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.
