I've noticed this alarming separation between ATI & Nvidia fanboys but I don't understand it..
This is not something like Xbox vs PS2 platform
Both GPU makers make video cards that plays the same games on Windows at same or nearly same speed. Graphic quality is not even an issue anymore, there are microscopic differences but it is unnoticeable.
ATI fanboys keeps saying SLI is a waste of money and Nvidia fanboys says ATI does not have SM3.0 support, blah blah...
My take, they both have competing products that plays all the popular games equally well, the only time I would compare them is to match what I have and what the most bang of the buck would be.
As far as the next-gen is concerned. G70 vs R520, for now it is really meaningless to compare these next-gen GPUs playing current-gen games, since the numbers are so high that most of us aren't gonna benefit much. The real deal is how they perform in upcoming or next-gen games. I would buy the card that has the best next-gen game support.
This ATI or Nvidia fanboyism is childish and ignorant. May the best bang in the bucks card that works for you wins.
