??? nVidia is probably a little better. You can see it in the XBox and PS3, but most use ATi cause of the price and reliability! It's really the same thing, the difference is minimal!

It totally depends dude..
Budget.. Requirments.. you want AGP or PCI..
In general, Nvidia card are more stable on a long run and users have less problems with drivers whereas ATI cards are more powerful.
I am personally a happy Nvidia owner.
If you want to buy top-notch.. I would suggest get the new Nvidia cards which are DirectX 10 compatible.

I have used Nvidia for years now, and swear by them....but I cant help but notice ATI has made some impressive hardware lately....ATI is working on ways that will allow the graphics processor on their cards, to work as an additional processor when your not running graphic intense programs.....This would allow gaming systems to have the computing power of a small super computer.....processing in teraflops....

Depends...What's better for you...I'm a Nvidia fan, but currently am using a ATi card and think it's great! Overclocks wonderfully with great graphics...
Some think Intel's the best (I'm an Intel fan) while others swear buy AMD...the choice is ultimately yours.

Hm it depends on the cards. I have used both and they both work great, though I have read that ATI has problems with widescreens displaying 1:1 ratio for games.

Personally I prefer ATI products....they tend to out perform nVidia products.
