AMD/Intel vs nVidia/ATi

VDDZ · January 7th, 2004

After reading the vs. posts, I was wondering what video cards do AMD/Intel fans use. I use AMD and nVidia, just from past experiences (an Intel blue up on me and an ALL-IN-WONDER wouldn't install for me)

Gamer1 · January 7th, 2004

i had a p4 1.6 back then, it was also an unlocked proc. (got it for free from my sister who works as an electrical enginner at intel) sold the proc for $200, and got myself a 2000+ (palomino) and this was last year... i had a ti4200 on that 1.6... the same ti4200 that i'm using for my 2000+ (thoroughbred, my soyo kt333 board got messed up... screwed up.. screw driver sliiped while installing a cpu fan, fry's had a cpu and mobo deal... funny thing was that the mobo was cheaper getting it with a proc than w/o, that's why i have the k7s5a pro right now.)

what if you have all of them at the top? both intel and nv, intel and ati, amd and nv, amd and ati?

Rhombus · January 7th, 2004

As you can see, I have an Athlon 2100XP and a nVidia GeForce3 Ti500. My previous setup was Athlon 1500XP with the same gfx card (I kept my whole system, including mobo, and just upgraded the CPU). Before that I had the Athlon 1500XP with a GeForce256, so I guess that's once again, Athlon/nVidia combo. Before THAT I had an Intel/nVidia combo, but only for a very brief time... that same GeForce256 with a PIII 450... but that was only for like 2 weeks (I soon upgraded to the Athlon 1500XP)... My ORIGINAL rig was that Intel PIII 450... it was a Dell and came with a Voodoo III 2000 (I think)... so that would be Intel/3dfx I suppose.

Haven't had an ATi card yet, but next time I upgrade, I'll probably go ATi cause I think they're more cost effective (more bang for the buck) and finally they have pretty good driver support (I was hesitant to get ATi for a long time cause I think the nVidia driver support was much better - but now I think ATi has really improved in that department and is pretty good).

Vahid · January 7th, 2004

as you can see in my computer profile below i was AMD and Nvidia, but i havent updated it to my new PC specs(to lazy) but my new specs is a P4 2.8(ht) 800mhz fbs with a geforce FX 5950 ultra 256mb which makes me a intel and nvidiea base now, i figured i would try intel this roudn because i had amd on my last 2 computers and figured i would give intel a chance to prove what they got

**Kane** · January 7th, 2004

Well I'm a staunch AMD supporter, as they give me the best bang for buck.
As far as graphics cards got, I love my old Voodoo 5, but obviously for today's games I have to use my geForce 3. I hated ATi from way back when during the time I had to use an ATi Rage 128/Voodoo combo. The ATi drivers hated having hte Voodoo installed, and hte 3d performance on it's own was abysma;l, not to mention half my system crashes at that time were ATi related. They have their act together now, but I have no intention of purchasing a new graphics card right now. I'd still likely go nVidia as they have served me so damned well in the past.

**n_w95482** · January 7th, 2004

I have an AMD Athlon XP 2500+ overclocked to about 3000+ speeds (running @ 2.1 GHz) as well as an ATi Radeon 9500 Pro (non-overclocked). I'm very happy with my computer

. It is very fast, MUCH faster than my old 500 MHz K6-2

yeah no kidding!!

by the way..ive always had intel and nvidia, well...i dunno what video card was in my P1 but since then ive had intel + nvidia, never let me down so far

Xinu0 · January 7th, 2004

Well so far I am loving my semi-new AMD-ATI combo. Those just go together soooo much.

**Yeloazndevil** · January 7th, 2004

I 'm a AMD guy but I might switch to ATI

Gamer1 · January 7th, 2004

I have all the combinations... as i really don't care as long as i have the best bang for the buck. Some companies just don't deserve a hard earned dollar when they release an underperforming product.

right now i have an amd and nv as my main machine right now. it might change, as my sister might be able to get me a 3.2Ghz p4 for free ( i might end up selling it if i get it again like my 1.6 and with the profits get myself a better video card)... ooo the 5900se looks really good right now...

Chinoz · January 7th, 2004

Was once an Intel/nVidia guy, but the 9500pro was simply irresistable that I'm now an Intel/aTi guy (and I'm proud of it!!)

**Razor Blade** · January 9th, 2004

*cough* Sorry but there is already tons of discussion on this I dunno why we need more.

there is a difference Razor this is a poll

**Razor Blade** · January 9th, 2004

Okay well I guess it is slightly different.

Well I voted Intel and ATI. I guess I'm one of the few. But the combo works fine for me.

N1ghtw0lf · January 9th, 2004

AMD/Nvidia...doesnt this belong under Hardware with the rest of the graphic card/processor discussions

**Yeloazndevil** · January 9th, 2004

N1ghtw0lf u are right.

*moving to Hardware Discussion*

mAjin_Mohz · January 9th, 2004

ahaha, well i also go with AMD and Nvidia.

AMD Duron 700 MHz and Geforce 4 mx440, both serve me excellently..so far very lil lags on games (because of processor), but im able to play everything that hits me

.
and yea me2 think nvidia rox, i know they have cheated..but why call it cheat when all thier doing is adjusting some gfx for better performance? o well..i wouldnt use forceware as the difference is very lil..id rather get the extra performance and just use aa and bang

VDDZ · January 9th, 2004

Razor Blade - Oh ha ho, but it is different. Those are the posts I was talking about in my first post.

Yeloazndevil - I didn't put it in hardware discussion? :oops:

So far my assumptions were right, AMD and nVidia go together.

**Yeloazndevil** · January 9th, 2004

amd and nvidia sure is popular....well i guess ATI is popular all the way around. it's weird having the second lowest, nvidia + intel
