Personally, I prefer ATi Radeon graphics cards... much nicer and smoother.

It depends on certain things. Doom 3 supposedly runs better on nVidia cards and Half-Life 2 runs better on ATI Radeons. nVidia cards are technically superior on paper though.

Next year I am planning on building a new computer, and will probably choose an nVidia card, so that in future I can upgrade to having 2x nVidia cards in SLI :P
