Re: Video ATi - vs - nVidia

I've had both nVidia and ATI. Right now I'm running ATI, but my card isn't
good enough to handle DVI 1080i without a little jitter. You'd probably want
an ATI 9800 or better for that. On the nVidia, I hear you need a 6600 or
better for good HD.

Cards with fans may be noisier but cards without fans turn to toast much
easier...
