Last comparison I saw, the drivers offered similar performance, but the ATI's graphics were clearer. That makes the ATI drivers better.

Yeah, go with the radeon. The latest cards for both nVidia and Ati are both quite similar as far as frames per second go. But the nVidia cards cut corners in certain calculations, such as colour calcs.
They dont do true 32bit colour calculations, they reduce them to 24, 16 and sometimes even 8bit in order to keep the fps up.

Go with the ati cards, good performance and excelent image quality.

I'd like to know where you heard that about nVidia cards.  Here in the UK I can get a 6800 for  circa £200.  I can get a 9800XT for circa £275.  In all the reviews & tests of the X800 Series, 6800 Series, 9800 series & 5900 series the 6800 or the 6800GT provide the best performance/price ration.

Thanks for all your help, I think I'll go with the ATI Radeon.

I think ill go with the 9800Pro or the 9800XT if i can afford it..anyone got an australian priceing on these?
