Building a new computer

[Reno]

Honestly ATI\'s slowly killing itself.
While it does manage faster video cards and more raw power, the fact that they\'re tool stupid to add new firmware stuffs, and just make heavier and newer drivers for the card with the same infastructer means that if you want some of the newer features that\'ll be showing up in games, you should really move towards nVidia.
If you\'re more focused on games that are out now, or will been soon, it\'s your personal preference, but for alot of the newer stuff, ATI\'s crapping out because they dont want to do more work than they have to.
ATI\'s slowly sliding into the abyss and at this rate will really kill itself in the long run.
But, in all fairnes, this is one of the coders dealing with coding frstration(man, you should talk to del, haha he\'s a lot worse for it than me because of the stuff he\'s trying to code)

summarization: your preference, but future games are going to be using alot of new features, and there\'s a pretty solid chance that ATI wont support them.
