graphic card

BOTH! depends on where ur using it nvidia are good for laptops while ATI are good for desktpos

Initially 3DFX was the king in the graphics accelerator business. But, the NVIDIA Riva TNT graphics card simply bashed the best offering from 3DFX then. And NVIDIA kept on churning out newer generations of graphics cards every six months and 3DFX was unable to keep pace with NVIDIA and finally just shut down and sold its business to NVIDIA. This was the time when NVIDIA's monopoly began. The NVIDIA dominance continued with the GeForce 256 and GeForce 2 GTS. That was the time most graphics card companies started shutting down. All but one, ATI. The only reason why ATI was still operational was because their workstation graphics cards were selling well and NVIDIA didn't have a workstation graphics card yet. When NVIDIA released GeForce 2 GTS, ATI unleashed the first Radeon card codenamed R100 and was eventually called the Radeon 7500. But, in terms of performance, it was a step behind NVIDIA's offering. Though ATI never had major success with the Radeon 7500, their R200 a.k.a. Radeon 8500 did started making a dent in NVIDIA's sales figures. When we move up to the most high-end cards such as Radeon X800 XT and GeForce 6800 Ultra both of these cards are evenly matched. But, since most of the games are based on Direct 3D than OpenGL, ATI edges ahead on points, however the 6800 Ultra isn't too far behind. But in games such as Far Cry and DOOM 3, it takes the honors. This is the list of cards in terms of performance,which i feel the best. Please keep in mind the Radeon X800 XT and the GeForce 6800 Ultra are very difficult to find in India. 1. ATI Radeon X800XT 2.
