One more, and the ATI and Opera users can start a pen pal relationship.

fuck yea, and I wouldn't have done the switch to ati if I had found a good nvidia model for my old agpee board, but that was hard to find so I got the HD 3850 in the end (which btw runs pretty well with the shipped old drivers)

I'm sure that would be more helpful than the ati sup forum

I used to be an ATI fanboy especially since they were a Canadian company. Then I picked up an nVidia card and, after experiencing their driver stability, never looked back.

i picked up an nvidia card after using ati for several years.

anyone who thinks nvidia has anything over ati other than a few extra frames should get off the crack pipe.

I use nVidia because ATI has pretty crap support for Linux (getting better though).

Nvidia and ATI are about the same performance-wise but nvidia's drivers are more stable.
