I've never really been a big fan of ATi. It stems from back in the day when ATi's drivers were shit. There was one that broke several rather popular games and lots of old ones. And they haven't really improved all that much...sure, the cards work all the time now, but there are broken features all over the place.
There is a game I play(Freespace 2) that is being source updated by the community, they've added HT&L, self-illuminated textures, specular lighting, and a whole host of other features and since catalyst 4.4 ATI cards haven't been able to render specular lighting at all, while the Nvidia cards render it just fine.
So while I'm not opposed to getting the ATi, it really needs to be sold to me that it's worth the extra 10 bucks from a speed and unbroken features POV.
There was a time when people were impressed that I have the firepower to decimate a planet in under 10 minutes.
