Basically my title says it all...i need to decide whether or not to go with the nvidia card or ati's... I have always had good luck with nvidia's cards before, and my one radeon gave me a lot of crap...but then again...that was ONE radeon..and it was pci...but anyway...i hear the ati gets better fps on HL2...but everything else favors the nvidia chips...so if yu have any suggestions...plz let me know..
has any of you heard about the NV40 and the NV43 chips not doing the hardware decoding for dvd's? i know nvidia aint talking about this...but i heard somewhere through the grapevine that their hardware decodeder is "broken" and may be fixed soon by a driver release...anyone heard about this?
also, i need to make a decision between the two cards, the X-700 Pro (ATi) and the 6600GT (nvidia) . Me is gonna be playing Doom3, HL2, and of course UT2004 (which runs awesome on my 5600 Ultra) Which card would you guys recommend? (And dont say ati cuz ati rocks or same with nvidia... i have look at framerates test and see that the 6600gt overtakes the ati card, except at HL2...but i dunno...the ati having 256mb and the 6600gt is only 128...)
