your right. there are products where NVidia still kicks ATI's butt, like the NForce2 chip sets etc.

but i think ati has managed to salvage their REP and are a legitimate player now. something that couldn't be said about them 2 years ago.

Brittany Spears sells more records than most bands. Therefore with your thinking, she's greater than most bands.

And we know how crap (but hot...😱) Britney Spears is!

wow, the ATI is leading by miles option is really gaining.

so, who wants to bet that the NVidia people are voting competitive and the ATI people are voting the last option.

I voted competitive because there wasn't an option for ATI leading at the time. It was at 14 votes for competitive before you added the ATI has passed. So Competitive has 5 since then, and ATI has 15.....

WOW.
 
Unless it also gave you cunnulingus, washed your clothes and cooked your dinner it is a waste of money IMO!

I prefer fellatio. But that's just because I'm a man.
 
ATI has utterly defeated nVidia - R9100 is cheaper than FX5200 and offers superior performance. I use budget cards as my company worth gauge - not those damned $500 cards that cost more than most of my machine.
 
IMHO ATI (in the enthusiast community) is better seen than nVidia because of nVidia's recent "cheating" issues. What irked me the most of the whole thing is that after the "cheating" stories came out nVidia's PR was not at all apologetic. If I see benchmarks for a product, I'd like to see them be representative of the real world performance... especially for a high-priced item like video cards are nowadays.

In the non-enthusiast community, nVidia still has a far better image than ATI has. nVidia = high performance for many users. Heck, my cousin was just asking me the other day if I had one of those "GeForce 5s" because he heard "they kick ass".

I think that for the current generation of products the PR and marketing depts are running nVidia in an attempt to disguise and play down the fact that ATI seems to have better hardware in many segments. I hope that once the next-gen products nVidia will do away with the smoke and mirrors and rely on solid hardware instead of PR spin.

but the fact that CompUSA has priced the respective Top-of-the-line products from BOTH companies the same, indicates to me that EVEN in the non enthusiast markets ATI has made SIGNIFICANT gains on NVidia.

 
ATi has dominance in the high end market, 68% to 32%, that's 2:1 at the top end, not bad.
And they've been doing OK all over the board.

i was actually referring to the company and it's rep more than the product.

i think the two companies will go back and forth with subsequent releases, i don't think either will show a clear dominance in product for a while. (hopefully, more power to the consumer that way).

but as far as ATI the company vs NVidia, I think ATI has come a long way to reestablishing their Rep.

The company and it's rep is defined by it's products. So it's really the same question.

Since the Radeon 8500, ATI has been competitive.
Since the Radeon 9700 success, ATI has been superior.

But I would be surprised if NVidia doesn't make a stong comeback in the next year.
We can only hope that there will continue to be at least two stong companies in the market.

i don't agree. i think there is a lag between Product and Rep. the 8500 was a good product but the rep didn't start coming around till the 9700.

 
In the current line of GPU's, ATI is leading..

But overall company size and market share... nVidia is still miles ahead..

what is Bitboys?

Bitboys OY, Swedish/somewhere in Scandanavia I believe.
Never released a real product for the PC, although came up with nice specs. repeatedly.
Finally released a product for mobile market (PDA's/phones IIRC) this year.

Kind of a running joke in the PC world as a company who never did anything but mention specs. Some people wondered if they really existed.

..of SIS/Matrox, ahead of ATi, and miles behind Intel.
 
exactly..

Ati is doing very well as of late..

nVidia is still a much larger company pulling back much higher revenue..
 
got a 8500 a while back and lovin it... but a new rig is being built with a 9800 xt. nvidia just wasn't a choice in my mind.
