Which brand do you own currently?

If you own both brands, please pick "I own both brands" regardless of how many cards you have.

This is just out of curiosity, and is kind of a follow on from the "Who profited from mining" thread. Thanks.

EDIT: Sorry the poll should have said 2+ cards, not 1+. Can I edit a poll or no? .

Changed the poll for you

I "own" 2 Nvidia cards, but one is just a backup in case I need to RMA the main one... Should I still vote 1+ Nvidia?

Last 3 gaming cards: GTX 680, 560 ti, Radeon 6850. I have all 3 but don't really use the older 2.

I never did any mining.

Over the years I've owned cards from both camps and I'm currently using both. I don't prefer one or the other I just buy what seems like the best deal when I need it.

I have long gone for the best bang for the buck, but the issues I had with my Radeon 7850 threw me square into ol' Green's court. It's funny because from the original 8500 to the X1800 GTO, I was always with ATI/AMD but now run two NVIDIA cards. Radeons/FireGLs tend to have a lot of problems with specialized OpenGL software and dual monitors with mobile workstations as well so I no longer recommend them in general but for those who have no such problems, great bang for the buck. I also feel slimey supporting NVIDIA after the GTX 970 debacle.

Based on Steam survey:
http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey/videocard/

Have to be amazed at the 970. It's a high-end card (prior to Titan X, 2nd top-dog status) and its share is so high up there among low-end and mid-range.

It really is the AMD dGPU killer product from NV.

Who said high-end GPUs can't move marketshare?

Kind of sad to see 970 at 2.49% and all of R9 290 at 0.95%. Especially sad if you consider how much lead time R9 200 has had in the market and how much cheaper it is than 970 right now.

As for me, I have one R9-290. The rest of my computers use integrated intel graphics. Technically I still have really old nVidia cards with the newest being GTX260c216, but they're so old they don't really count.

I find it more sad the HD 4000 is is the most used card on that survey. Double the next video card.

I voted 2+ nvidia but it so much more.

I just moved two ASUS 560ti's to my wife's computer after I put two ref Titan X's in my main machine.

Aside from an old Hercules card in the early 90s, I've had nVidia except for a laptop that had ATI:\

Both brands here!

Running a 970GTX most of the time, but popping the 290X once in a while.

At the moment I'm running the 290X because my 970GTX crashes a lot in GTA5.

Yup. AMD is struggling to sell R290/X for $240/$280.

The hot + noisy + high power stigma stuck. Hopefully they've learnt to never put their crap blower on any GPU in the future.

I have to admit, I'm quite surprised that so many people are using both vendors. Who says AT is AMD/nVidia biased?!! :p
