well when you mix the nvidia onboard drviers with ati card drivers (meaning you only uninstall the old drivers) and vice versa you get issues, this i've seen personally. sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't you never knowI did... did you, or did you only read the part you agree with?seems i'm not the only one that thinks so..... read drawfs post
Hey ThePizzaMan,
I'm not tearing you apart, just the idea. I think it's important we try and clear up misinformation, for everyone. I think you would agree, right? Sometimes we all have ideas that aren't entirely accurate... I know I'm guilty of this just as much as the next guy... nobody can know everything.
What you're suggesting is that if you have an nvidia chipset, it's recommended that you use an nvidia card because using an ATI card can be problematic. I see no facts that back up this claim.You're always going to get different recommendations here when talking about graphics cards. Some will say ATI, and others will say NVidia.
In cases like this, we need to look further at your system specs, in particular the chipset used by your motherboard. If it is NVidia based, then I would go with NVidia. For an AMD based motherboard, use ATI. If it is neither, then you could use either.
I am still waiting for some shred of supporting evidence which suggests nvidia cards work better with nvidia chipsets or which suggests ATI cards work better with AMD chipsets. To date, nothing has been provided.
That last line pretty much sums up what I've said. Cpu's do not talk to graphics cards, so what cpu you use is irrelevant. Nowhere have I read that certain cards have issues with certain chipsets. If you've read different, then please link me.
Some guys base their recommendations on the cards they happen to like, irrespective of anything else, as Dwarf rightly pointed out. I think a little of that may be going on here?
