First, some qualifications. Over the years, which gpus have you owned and used in your own personal systems?
If the list is heavily weighted towards nvidia, choose nvidia, if amd/ati, choose them, and if you happen to be a switch hitter, using about as many nvidia cards as amd/ati cards, choose that option.
My list:
-some 7000 ati card, saw some water effects in morrowind that this card did not support (needed the 8000 series ati cards or higher at the time, so I jumped up to a...)
-ati 9600 xt
-nvidia 7600 gt (that fanless fatality branded card (ran worse than the fan version))
-ati x1800 gto
-ati 4850
-amd 6870
-amd r9 290
6 out of 7 cards belong to the ati/amd camp. I favor that company clearly. You all? What does your gpu history suggest about your preferences?
