What Video card Company do you prefer?

I prefer nVidia because I tried one ATI product and it failed on my PC. I also tried a nVidia and it worked like a charm. I did this on old hardware i auctioned form eBay.

Depends on which card is the best for me at the time I want it.
I have a Mobility Radeon X1600 in my laptop which is perfectly fine, although it runs a little hot.
I have an Nvidia 8800GT in my main machine which I've been very pleased with.
I have an Nvidia 9500GT in my server for Folding @ Home which I'm also pleased with.
The family machine has SiS integrated graphics which they're fine with.
I've used graphics cards and chips from other vendors, such as Intel and S3 Graphics, and they've all been perfectly fine.

To me it's not the vendor or OEM that matters, it's what's best for me or the user and the machine's intended purpose.  I don't think anybody can say "X company is always better" because that's the nature of the industry.

    there a lot like cpu's know really differnce.  You'll find that some preform better then others an that each are designed for there own reasons.  Gameing an Video editting are big conterveries but you could get away with useing ether of them.

    If I fall who is there to pick me up now.  I stand alone but I stand as the gaurdian for whom I wish to protect.  The sound of my blade utters my name as you fall.  For I shall not move.  For those that forsake the very people are wosres

    In my next build, I can't use Intel's onboard graphics because I need two monitors.
