I have tended to buy nvidia over the last 10 years, mainly because of usually good performance, better cooling (historically), and less driver issues (historically).
My favorite ATI card, which I still have in a drawer, is an ATI Mach32 Vesa Local Bus.
This thing was my card in a windows 3.1 box around 1994, 1995, and it was smoking fast. Has 512kb ram and another 512kb in these funny add in chips that press into sockets (alternating leads from side to side). I had to RMA it a few times over the life of that old pc, but it was always fast. Plasma gun in doom was like a constant flow. in multiplayer games it gave me an advantage for sure.
