Hmm well lately the graphics on your common gaming computer have at least be upgraded to the minimal of a 6800gt which I do not remember the equivalant to the ATI Radeons. Well now in recent evaluations I have done of the recent ATI cards compared to the that of the beastly 7900 cards I realised that ATI is actually doing much better than that beast of a card Nvidia is putting out. ATI is still sticking so far to one port graphic cards while nvidia is taking up two slots on your tower making it a total pain in the arse to build a gaming rig with a small tower and not to mention getting all the fans and a cooling tower special made to lower the heat inside. So all in all Nvidia is become more expensive to keep up with. Even though their graphic cards are really reliable more than the ATI being that the ATI drivers are always wacky for some reason. NOt to mention they are next to null. But since ATI is keeping in mind of the bidget gamer it starting to pull ahead on NVIDIA. Though I will always trust nvidia more than ATI but hey I am going where I can spend the lest amount of money and so far that looks like ATI and if anyone has seen the 7900s you should go to newegg.com and look at that thing its price range is insane and the size is ridiculous.
