As a long time gamer / IT professional, I was a long time ATI fan. When it came to AGP GPU's, ATI was king. I recently built a Quad Core computer for myself, but this time I opted to go with Nvidia. Why? Since the GPU technology went to PCI-e, Nvidia has been the top dog. But I will say this Nvidia better watch out, ATI is slowly starting to gain on them. There latest GPU cards on just as good as there Nvidia. As far as Intel is concerned, better stick to what you do best, chipsets. Intel in no where closed to ATI or Nvidia, when it comes to GPUs.

On a side note about Apple PC, thats where you went wrong in the first place, buying one.

Apple does make a pc

pc means personal computer and that is

precisely what mac is, a personal computer. Also I use a Nvidia 8600GT,

and am happy with it. I use it with a

gigabyte S series mother board.

I can play tetris on my intel IGP at 1080p, the graphic is excellent. But I can only play Crysis on my geforce 7800 GO at 800×600.

Intel graphics are a joke and do not come close to Nvidia's graphic performance.

Its laughable that somebody commented about "Nvidia stopped supporting AGP users, where AMD reigns in superior performance for a long time now." AGP is a standard that has been long superceeded (in performance) by the PCI express standard. Also, how is Nvidia "stopped supporting" AGP cards unless their drivers for AGP cards have stopped working suddenly? BTW, as to AMD/ATI cards of current generation, they are totally handicapped since they don't have support for industry-leading features like PhysX and CUDA. Only time will tell if AMD will catch up in that department but right now, things do look bleak for them. And Intel does not and will not have a product until 2010 so that its all hot air from them.

nVidia 8400 and 8600 mobile cards are failing in Dell, Apple and HP systems with Dell and HP extending warranties a year on the problem. HP is only offering ATI cards on their Balanced Business line now. nVidia should fix their current problems before touting on their future.

Mr. "r" said…

Nvida despite making decent video chips has NEVER make a perfect or even great chip. Almost all their video chips in Apple PCs have been somewhat deficient and somewhat buggy.

I think they make some good products but comparatively they don’y come close to comparing with Intel.

———–

Before you attack someone else for the bugs you claim make NVDA a lesser choice than ATI or Intel, please try to correct your own mistakes (i.e. spelling and grammar)

obvious mistakes:

has NEVER make

don’y

poor wording:

but comparatively they don’y come

close to comparing with Intel.

I'll stick to my NVDA cards as every Intel onboard graphics is worthless for serious business or entertainment. ATI is crap and never supports their products. I've got a pile of crappy ATI cards if you want to buy them. I'll even give you the defective ATI drivers at a discount. LOL

What kind of advertisement are you feeding us Ann fron San Fran? Youre just spouting stuff Nvidia told you, like Intels stuff being equivalent to a 2006 GPU. Thats just speculation on Nvidia's part too. I don't think Intel fairs well in the graphics business and I think dreamworks made a terrible mistake positioning themselves with Intel for their supposed superior roadmap for graphics compared to AMD. And why would you say AMD is not about gaming? Are you kidding, AMD is all about gaming, whether its their GPUs or CPUs.

If you hadn't noticed AMD's video cards stack up right up there with Nvidias in performance. Nvidia has used technology developed by ATI to give consumers better products. And it has been AMD/ATI pushing Microsoft and software developers to continue to expand graphics capabilities in Direct X while maintaining great backwards compatability and performance with OpenGL. And Nvidia stopped supporting AGP users, where AMD reigns in superior performance for a long time now.

Seem to me the usual unsupported by the facts… bla bla bla !!!
