POLL: FOR YOUR NEXT GPU, ATI OR NVIDIA?

[DaTT]

Nvidia all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(although I have never tried an ATI, and would like to, but I hear they can sometimes be a pain to get running properly, what with driver issues and such......)

 

[spanky]

doesn't via do graphics too? they own s3 right?

 

[Chaotic42]

I dunno. Hopefully I'll be in the military by summer, and won't have a need for a new video card for a while. I'd say whatever is hot in the fall/winter 2004.

 

[JSSheridan]

Couldn't say for sure. Who's to say that ATI won't miss a product cycle in the future? If I were buying a card now, I would go for the Radeon 9500Pro. When I do upgrade, I'll buy what gives me the best performance for $200 or less. Peace.

 

[bgeh]

i don't know about my next choice, but i should be getting RV350 for both of my friends

 

[CrazyHelloDeli]

I get whatever is the fastest.

They acquired S3 and included the ultra high speed Savage 4 graphics into there KM chipsets.

 

[magomago]

Hey, leave the savage4 alone I'd probably be using it instead of my 50 dollar geforce2gts-v(best 50 bucks i ever spent) if the savage4 had 3d acceleration for win2k


But definitely ATI at this stage...

 

[Shagga]

Which ever is the quickest when I come to upgrade for Doom III.

 

[spaceman]

i would like to say ati.
bur when you rma a card 4 times only to end up with the same defective product, it leaves a bad taste in your mouth.:disgust:

Ill stick with my geforce 3 for now, perhaps this summer i'll pick up whatever nvidia's mid range offering is.

 

[rudder]

I am waiting for the bitboys release. When they do release thier stunning card I will go ahead and upgrade my Voodoo Banshee card.

 

[Electric Amish]

I have a 9700 Pro, so I doubt I'll need a new one very soon.

It will either be ATi or Matrox (assuming the get off their asses), or something else if a new player comes along.

amish

 

[mchammer187]

ATI

unless NVDA produces something truly spectacular

i have owned a Geforce 2 and once i went ATI i never looked back

also the remote wonder is a sweet device

 

[bluemax]

I'd go with whatever's a super deal - but I must say, ATI got my vote because they're the ones concentrating on more than JUST gaming (though they're doing a smashing job of that too!)
ATI is working on DivX decompression, better video playback in general - whether it be movies off DVD, hard drive or internet live viewing.
Anyone else doing that? Nope... Not video card makers anyways. (3rd party add-ons count?)

 

[arcenite]

I would just like to say I am quite amused. I've preferred ATI ever since I knew what video cards were, and a few years ago nVidia would have been the top

[MetroFly]

i've had ati, 3dfx, nvidia, nvidia.

since i don't really game that much anymore, i'm gonna get an ati card for the other features it has. (of course i'll still be gaming occassionally)

 

[RatDog8102]

Probably whatever Best Buy has for $100 on the day after Thanksgiving. I do hope its an ATI.

[Pilsnerpete]

maybe an option for "depends on driver support." I'm not upgrading till something can do 10'000 on 3dmark03!! that's the kind I want.

[human2k]

I guess 71.75 (%) of anandtechers will get a ATI card next....

 

[0roo0roo]

depends which has the best frames per buck

 

[Duvie]

I think you need another option....

5) I don't know yet, I will decide on the best when I get there.....

I don't play the fanboy thing and I can't say in 1 month or so whether I will upgrade vid card or what brand....I say I may lean more towards ati but only for the AIW card features. My needs may change at anytime though.

 

[BFG10K]

My next video card will probably be the R350 though in reality anything could happen by then.

 

[capodeloscapos]

I´ll be upgrading my ELSA Geforce 2 MX to an ATI Card, maybe a 8500, or if I can, to a 9500Pro... that is, Image quality and excellent Anisotropic filtering, I Love That. And of course, jump from my DX7 to a DX8.1 or DX9 if I get the money...

 

[Sniper82]

Well since I am always a step behind on latest stuff I think I will go with a GF4 Ti4600 when the new FX comes out(hoping it drops the price alot on Ti4600). But I may consider a Radeon 9500 Pro or something if its a noticeable difference between my current 250/250 Radeon 8500.

So it will be between Radeon 8500Pro or GF4 Ti4600.
