POLL: Which brand do you own?

First time in over a decade I'm sad to report I don't have a single Radeon in my house

Two Nvidia cards right now. Had an R9 290 that I bought Black Friday, but sold it a month and a half later. Just didn't play my most played games as well as an Nvidia card (replaced it with a GTX 780 I caught on sale for $270 - which is doing great).

I have 3 290s, (2 sapphire, one powercolor) a 6970, and 9800 GTX, 8800 GTX, 7800 GS (BFG)

I have a GT 640 temp card that I keep around as back up and a Gigabyte 970. Eagerly waiting for the new stuff to launch.

Past few years has been a bit of both, in chronological order:
EVGA 680 at launch
Sapphire 7970 Ghz, WB
R9 290 ref cooler on launch (ewwww) replaced with WB
GTX 780 on water
2x970 (sent back)
Gigabyte 780 (sent back defective)
Gigabyte 970 temp card until new stuff launches (used)

Both

I don't own any GPU brand. Those are multi billion $ corporations. I guess having some stock could count as "owning" a tiny part of that brand, but as a whole, it is impossible to own such company for an average Joe.

The AMD killer is the complete lack of mobile chips. Since mobile is 75% of the market now and Nvidia owns 90% of it, that gives AMD a 7.5% total share. Add that to the 50% of desktop and they have a 20% total share.

If AMD can take back a decent chunk of mobile, it'll give them a huge boost. Especially since the mobile variants go for 400-600% more than the desktop version. Well for Nvidia anyway, AMD may have to stick with 200-300%.

I own cards from both companies (latest was a GTX970 before the truth came out), but Nvidia has screwed with me to many times now...I can't buy/recommend them anymore. Not unless they stop their crap for a few generations to show they've really turned around.

Sorry, but Intel has a large part of the mobile market. I know we often forget about Intel but the OEM's love that free video that comes with an Intel chip. Even when it sucks!

Have been riding the ATI/AMD train from the 4870 days until now. Had a long long run with NV from the old TNT cards to the 8800GT with only an ATI 9700 Pro during that time span.

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

I think most of us just buy whatever is the best deal at the time. I certainly have no preference.

With all due non-bias respect, when has AMD not had the best deal since the dawn of the 4870? Answer: the very, very brief period where 680 undercut the 7970. Yet if you kept both cards until today, the 7970 would have been worth the extra $50 over the 680 even if it were not price cut - it's simply a superior card.

I have two active machines both with Nvidia, btw, so that's where I voted. That's because one is a laptop and the other I bought used for a good deal. But for new cards, forget about it. G Sync enthusiasts and low power itx builds excluded, of course.
