AMD(ATI) vs Nvidia 2007

Guess it's finally time for a new poll. The last poll was from 2004. I think it's time for a new one. So which is it this time? ATi is no longer technically alive. It's AMD now, but to keep things within the realm of video cards, it's AMD(ATI).

I voted for Nvidia. Looks like my 6 month old 8800gtx is still going strong.

Got my Geforce 8800 GTS 320 and am very satisfied with it. I used to like Ati before, but i think i got the best buy for the buck.

I use NVIDIA because it suits my needs the best. Award winning debugging/texture tools, a great shader language (Cg), great sdk samples, what more could I ask for? Just better linux drivers I like their NForce MCPs too. Too bad NVIDIA couldn't make a really good card until GeForce 3, but even then the 3DFX Voodoo 5 was better with the exception of it's fixed pipeline.

Nvidia without a doubt. i think this should have been made a public poll so we would know who to avoid debating with in the future.

I can't seem to find the option. Maybe the one of the other admins could do it.
