I am not bashing NVidia. I am strictly objective in this matter and everything I have stated is fact with no drama added.
You, on the other hand, have been bashing ATI while extolling how great NVidia is. You have no engineering background, nor does it appear you have any design background in games either (weather is just graphics and can be implemented in a dozen different ways, some ATI friendly, some NVidia friendly and every programmer has thier own opinion as to what they like best. Some of those opinions are based on how much money ATI or NVidia will toss the developer as well). Your opinion seems to be based on some very specific things you do with your card(s), yet you make broad statements which can be misleading to the novice.
I support both products everyday. I have to know what to expect so I do a lot of research into the products as it is the only way I can support them. I do not depend on any one users opinion, nor do I put much stock in any WEB based articles which also state thier opinions. Weeding through opinions to get to the facts is what I do. There are very few articles on the WEB that do not start with the sentence, "I think...", while using subjective data to backup the opinion.
I fully understand you do not like ATI. I have no issue with that. I have an issue with the manner you try to persuade people to go with NVidia. It is laced with obvious bias and misinformation. I have no doubt you believe what you are saying, but you do have a limited sample to work with.
If I were to do what you are doing, I would be bashing NVidia and extolling how great ATI is, as in my application at home ATI is about 25% faster than NVidia and far more stable as well. It is also quieter and runs much, much cooler drawing much less power which keeps my electric bill down. That would not be the far, nor right thing to do. My application is MY application. I tested both, ATI won.
Yet, I will be the first to tell anyone, my application may not be your application and I will not recommend ATI over NVidia, or vice-versa. There is a best card for any given application. It all depends on the application.
For Aces High, either brand is fine as long as you watch how you update the software.
EDIT: By the way Chalenge, I am not trying to pick on you here. My sole concern is hardware be viewed in an objective manner.
