i dunno if someone already started a thread like this or not ...
well i wanna ask what is the difference between the two of them , i do like nvidia but ATI prices are much lower than nvidia , so i'm looking to buy a new Video cardand if i did choose nvidia which one is the best for me my money range 100$ ~ 170$
I like NVidia. Use to use ATI but had a bad experience with them on the PC I built 4 years ago. Switched to NVidia and have never looked back.
My experience has been mostly with ati- but everyone has a slightly different answer to that one-

Best Graphics Cards For the Money: March 2011 : March Updates
Like many others, I've had early issues with ATI.
Made the permanent move to to nVidia.
But apparently, ATI have really cleaned up lately, and are looking good. I've got on in my macpro at work, and its performing well. Sadly, I cant game with it.
But still I'd never buy one. Personal preference is to stick with nVidia.
i recently chose ati, as my card (6950) runs cooler and uses less power, for the same sort of performance as the similarly priced competition - so i didn't need to upgrade my psu/cooling as well.
and it looks pretty cool too(if you're into that sort of thing
)
I have had less problems with Nvidia drivers and the 3D graphics is better IMO.
*sighs* Anytime I question is asked like this, there are pages and pages of opinions, because that's all this issue boils down to.
If you want an answer, figure out your budget for a card. Once you have this, buy the best card you can for the budget.
If you don't want to go with that amount, research what the best current "bang for your buck" card is, and get that one. There's no way of saying one brand is better than the other in a factual sense. Prices change all the time, so there's no good or bad time. That's why I usually go with the budget. Choose an amount you are comfortable with spending, and then pick the card that gives you the most performance within that amount.
MSI use that same cooler on Nvidia cards too, so for the style of coolers MSI have, can have best of both worlds
