Ati Vs Nvidia Vs Other, What's Better? Options

[InSyNeTxZ]

I was wondering what do you think is the better price, quality, perfomance etc graphic card brand?

My personal thoughts that Nvidia is better for they are much cheaper where ati just crank up the prices and have just a little better performance.

Your thoughts???

Of course the drawbacks of using SLI/Crossfire include:

• Double power usage
• Double Heat
• Double Noise
• A lot less space for expansion cards (especially for double slots GPUs)
• Doesn't always perform as well as a single card for the combined price (or less), although this depends on many factors, such as the types of cards and game etc.
• Different games take more or less advantage of an SLI setup, some even suffer from a Dual GPU setup.

But SLI does certainly help run games at above 1920 where all but the chunkiest GPUs struggle with newer games.

Anyhow my 2c.
