Not a fanboy as I have used cards from both camps, but I will toss in two cents.
ATI drivers have gotten better of late, at least compared to the train wrecks they used to put out back in the day. They are not perfect, but they have improved.
On a similar thought, it is rather shabby to use one company as the measuring stick. By saying Nvidia is doing it right it automatically makes ATI wrong. if the tables were reversed and ATI was used as the measuring stick, Nvidia would be coming up short. Something to think about before sitting back and getting smug about it.
Both companies are in the process of making a mess of the graphics front. Instead of working toward a unified structure both companies are trying to push their own versions of stuff. This is bad enough now, but it will get worse. I can foresee a time coming when developers will have to choose which company their game will work on, or have to code it twice to cover the differences. This would not be advantageous to either company and would hurt us, the consumers, the most.
it's bad enough that Intel is trying to crush AMD and making a cluster out of things... we don't need a red/green fiasco, too. |
