Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.03.31 17:04:00 - [1] If you are interested in incarna and don't mind paying a little extra for proven driver stability then go with nvidia as all the shiney that will be used in incarna is based off the apex tech which ati does not and probably will never support. If you are budget minded and don't mind each driver release fixing one issue to only bring on two more then go with ati. Performance wise they are all on the same page as most people play with vsync anyways so its always capped at 60fps which any modern card ati or nvidia can do with all the settings on ultramegazomg high.

If you are interested in the future you take ati, since they got good DX11 cards for reasonably price, contrary to nvidia who's cards need a personal nuclear power station. And a dedicated aircondition unit. Luckily I have air conditioning in my home and an 800 watt psu so I'm set!(or will have as the last one burst into flames taking out my poor computer in the process.) Bonus is that in winter I can shut off the vent and still have a comfy warm room! \o/ Also yes ati have dx11 cards but where are the dx11 games?

I've had nothing but problems with nVidia cards and their drivers. I tried to give them a shot after years of avoiding them after my first go around, and they proved themselves lacking once again after I bought a system with 8800 GTX card in it, needless to say, I pretty much wrote off nVidia at this point. Nice attempt but alas 99.999999999999999999999999999999996334534375% of the worlds pc gaming users would simply lulz at ur troll and buy an nvidia card if they are not broke and have to settle for ati..

All card manufacturors drivers tend to suck for laptops. However when you drop laptops out of the equation you will find that nvidia has a stellar record of stability and super quick fixes for any issues and that ati's track record is lulz at best.

Ah this must be where the confusion sets in. All card manufacturors drivers tend to suck for laptops. However when you drop laptops out of the equation you will find that nvidia has a stellar record of stability and super quick fixes for any issues and that ati's track record is lulz at best. My issues were with the desktop drivers. I only acquired the laptop this week and needed to update the drivers, hence me visiting the Nv driver site and spotting that wonderful rollback warning. Noone ever said nividia never has released a buggy driver. But the rate is rather small when compaired to ati when you look at the long view. Also note that nvidia has put up a big statment to roll back until they fix the issue which judging by past issues will be rather quick. Again unlike ati that might let bugs launguish for months without any official recognition until it finally gets fixed. You get what you pay for I guess is the best way to explain choosing nvidia over ati. Think of nvidia as the exspensive exotic hand built to incredible tolerances sports car vs ati's mass produced cheap street racer. Both go really fast and handle well but the odds are good than when pushed to the limit the exotic will continue to perform perfectly and the mass produced one will blow an engine due to some defect from the less exspensive constuction methods.

Zeba Minmatar Honourable East India Trading Company	Posted - 2010.04.01 20:01:00 - [6] Originally by: Barakkus The only time I've ever had problems with ati cards is if they're some one producing a card with ati chipset. With actual ATI cards, I have never had a problem with drivers or the cards, Then its a funny coincidence that the overwhelming majority of ati cards sold are third party. Thanks for proving my point for me. Originally by: Barakkus I have always had problems with nVidia cards, as well as most of the people I know. Even with nVidia chipset motherboards, nVidia cards and their respective drivers are quite lacking when you want something to just plug in and go. I shouldn't have to "mess" with things to get the card to work right. I spent a week uninstalling and reinstalling various drivers, wiping and redoing the OS just to get that 8800 GTX to actually render all the textures in EQ2, even tried an 8600 and that had the exact same thing happen. I said ** it and sent the whole thing back, got something with an actual ATI card and worked flawlessly on the first try. Couple friends had the exact same issue with the 8800 and 8600. nVidia has and always will be crap. Hrmm, I have never had any install issues with any card be it ati or nvidia. Driver buggysness sure but never any problems with just 'plugging it in and working'. Maybe you and your friends need to take some time and google up some guides if you have had so many install issues. Could have been a mobo incompatibility or some such.
