When it comes to OpenGL support, nVidia has a much better reputation than ATI. My personal experience is the same: never an OpenGL problem with an nVidia graphics card (Ti4200, 6800LE, 7800GTX, 7400 Go), some problems on an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro - reputedly the stablest ATI graphics card ever.
When it comes to DirectX, the ATI graphics cards do their job well. But only a few 3D graphics applications can make use of DirectX - 3D Studio Max comes to mind.
Vue does NOT use DirectX. So if the graphics card doesn't have good OpenGL support, you're stuck to a rather slow and primitive wireframe view.
