Funny.. guess my ati cards the last few years don't work in lightwave, Vue, carerra, modo, and poser.. Oh, WAIT! Yeah they DO! And this last summer Nvidia drivers were causing all sorts of opengl issues with various applications.

Seriously, it doesn't really matter if you get nvidia or ati.. both will perform fine. I have owned both brands, and both havbe thier shares of issues and advantages.

Sometimes nvidia is the best value, sometimes ati is. Currenty ati offers the best bag for the buck under $200.

Way too many people take way too many things way too seriously.
