Did I mention Mike, someone will always give you THEIR opinon on what YOU should have? I really don't understand why people often feel the need to do such. I use both ATI and Nvidia, both work about as well. I'm very glad they are in such competition, because consumers everywhere benefit. Not often do you have two companies fighting for your purchase very much. Well... Intel and AMD are slightly different.
Anyhow, to back up my claim of Nvidia working to optimize specifically for Nvidia card. Check out this link to increase your speed of DOOM 3 on ATI cards, all it is is a math calculation that cards do to textures.

I tried it myself, it works, and definately closes most of the gap there was. I've seen reports of Half-Life 2 being horrible for 50% faster on ATI cards, instead of Nvidia. Both sides are dirty, but to just deny it is silly and leaves yourself up to making the wrong decisions.
As far as I'm concerned, Nvidia used to be the top dog, ATI was quite the underdog a few years ago; but Nvidia is on their tail or caught up. It's really too close to call. They are very very close on raw speed. Last I heard ATI was beating Nvidia on Image Quality, but Nvidias latest drivers are supposed to fix that... but I haven't seen comparable screenshots since.
