Each have their strong points:  The Gf2 GTS is faster at the lower resolutions (like below 1280) by a fair margin.  The Radeon is equal to, or slightly faster above that.

The Radeon draws less power than a GF2 card, so if you don't have good case cooling and a 300W power supply, this might be a factor.

I've always hated ATI's drivers, however the Radeon has been somewhat better recently.  There are still problems with some games and applications though.  (Mercedes Benz truck racing comes to mind.)

A strong point of Nvidia cards is the many driver revisions and updates.  A problem with a Detonator driver is likely to be resolved within a couple weeks.  The newer drivers can also eek out a little bit more performance.

Overall I personally like the GF2 cards better, but the Radeon is perfectly fine.  To be honest I haven't used or installed an ATI product because of their past record when it comes to drivers.

S!

 Both of these cards give a bang for the money invested.I have now ATi Radeon and happy with it.Had GF2GTS before,good card.Drivers have evolved pretty fast and image quality is far better than in GF2.But GF2 is faster in 16-bit than Radeon.32-bit is where Radeon really kicks in.I recommend both cards,just pick Your favorite.
