Nvidia for all out performance (when they decide to actually release cards) and actual card reliability in my experience. People say other way round but... Seriously, 7600gs, 8600gts, 8800gt, now gtx260 216, none have broke. 1st ati card i got broke JUST after warrenty ran out, 4870x2. I now have a mobility 4850 in my laptop which i got late last year, hopefully that dont go. Cards to deaths for me so far, 4-0 nvidia, 2-1 ati. Ati wins for price to performance.
