What the hell? In terms of performance the X800 etc series of ATI video cards perform and in some cases even out perform the Nvidia cards. The reviews speak for themselves.

What the hell once again? More pipelines perhaps? Higher clock speeds? Better image rendering?

ATI drivers have problems in opengl ALOT!, and there are more problems occuring everyday
I've used quite a few ATI video cards in my time and I've never had any problems like that.

That's just crap too - I had to update the drivers of my Nvidia 6800gt the other day to play BF2 and Half-life2 - didn't have to do it on laptop with ATI video card.
Now, different cards will perform different on different games. Alot of games these days are optimised for certain cards (such as GTA: SA is now sponsored by Nvidia and is optimised for it more than ATI cards). If you ask me it somewhat comes down to the games you intend to play.
Oh, squall, before you call me bias - I am pretty much an Nvidia "fan boy". I just call things how they are.
