[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 827329, member: 24160"] Personally, your friend just sounds like a NVidia fanboy. While I use to be an ATI fanboy, if you want the best performance between those two cards the ATI is the way to go. The whole stability issue had nothing at all to do with short or long term hardware stability, but with driver issues ATI had in the late 90's and early 00's. While ATI was kicking NVidia's rear all over the place for many years in the speed crown category during that time frame, ATI had plenty of driver issues. It primarily was in dealing with getting them installed / uninstalled / reinstalled and working properly. It was not always an easy task. This will be a [B]non-issue[/B] in OS X. (And both companies are making some great hardware today.) [/QUOTE]
