The main reason I've supported Ati for was and is image quality. Especially older nvidia cards absolutely sucked on 2D desktop.

And if you use TV-out - then the difference is even more obvious.

I use my PC as a home-theater, attached to 29" or 33" CRT TVs (my place and Father's), and Nvidia simply can't be compared to any ATI board since 7500.

This problem is gone with DVI-D luckily. My 8800GTS has a crystal clear image.

Sure, you just skip using the ****ty on-board RAMDAC. But I was speaking about purely analog CRT-TV via S-VHS cable.

I know exactly what you talk about.
