So I've seen lots of people fighting between ATI and Nvidia recently, Wanted to do a poll to see how it turns out.
Im an Nvidia fan, I love PhisX, and in a dream system, dual 5970s and quad 480s come almost equal, the 480s a bit lower I believe (Not totally sure, Tell me if I'm wrong) But the difference is practically unnoticeable other than PhisX, one of the only things that draws me to Nivida.
If nvidia continues down the path set by the 460 they might regain my trust, but their sli has messed up a couple of my games too. I have to disable sli for them to work. It's been like that for the last couple of driver updates.
Ati is pushing for an open source physx equivalent so they get more of my support there too. Plus their success with the 5000 series, I'd say ati right now.
But you have dual GTX 250s DarkJak, why don't you choose NVIDIA?
Anyway, I'm a bit jealous to the 5000 series, but I'm planning to buy GTX 465, so I can use the 3 Way SLI. I wish GTX 460 can support 3 Way SLI, that's gonna be cheap and awesome.
I'm not a fan of brands and their "mythology". I'd rather judge the stuff objectively by looking into products. And right now ATI has the upper hand.
Nvidia needs to come out with something better and keep lowering the prices.

i would like a 3rd option on this poll :P i'm personally a fan of both, i can't choose between either for software and hardware reasons, at one point they have both been on top and currently both have features that can make either be on the top. if anything it's a REALLY close race between the two (probably only in single card configurations)

I got the 250's because they really were the best bang for the buck at the time. I only upgraded to sli later on.
Just because I have nvidia doesn't mean I think they are the best overall, especially since mine was last gen, or last last gen if you wanna look at the architecture of the card :P
Don't get the 465, it's a bum card. It consumes a lot of power for what it is and 2 gtx 470s would be better than 3 gtx 465s.
