Radeon for excellent graphics and good framerates, GeForce for good graphics and excellent framerates. Personally, I think it's worth the minor loss in framerates for the picture quality of the Radeon.

I'm a first tiem Radeon user, and I have to admit, I'm more than impressed.

Looks like the graphics processor business has weeded everyone out but ATI and Nvidia - with Matrox at the back of the pack. I can see the Nvidia/ATI war escalate to like the Intel/AMD war - with Cyrix still out there somewhere.....

My opinion? If ALL you do is game, go Nvidia - if you do anything else that's graphically intensive like photo editing or CAD, I think you would be happier with the ATI video quality.
