ATi certainly has the best performance/$ ratio for gaming but unfortunately they fall short in the one category that really matters to me: F@H ppd.
I mostly play WoW on my system and even the 8800GTS in my second rig is more than adequate for that purpose. But for folding - nVidia is the only way to go from a ppd/$ viewpoint. GTX 260 cranks through ~7k ppd while an equivalently priced 4870 only does about 3-4k.
QFT. ATI needs to do something with Pande Group and see if they cal get their GPUs to fold better. GPU folding was first supported by ATI. Then later came NVIDIA and basically dominated the GPU folding scene.

Hopefully AMD can get some good tech in their CPU line as well, and force Intel to come down on their prices.
What are you talking about? Phenom IIs are doing very well against the Core 2 series. It took AMD a while though.
I have a Gigabyte 4670 coming in and will see if I can compare it to my 9600GT. According to Legit Reviews, the 4670 is comparable to my 9600GT, with some games favouring ATI while others favouring NVIDIA.
Lol I didn't even bother checking the other pages cus I knew there's gonna be some stupid arguement again. Typical video forum.
