Out of the 21 companies only 5 make cards for both...i wouldn't call that a vast majority
But what I meant was big name video card makers like evga, xfx, bfg, and PNY (I guess they are biggish..more so than others I would say). And out of all of those ATI only has XFX...asus is probably good too..but both companies have that.
I was just saying between ATI and nvidia I'd rather deal with the companies nvidia has seeing how they are bigger names are usually offer top notch support.
Thanks for the info about the over clocking tools. I knew MSI had something out but didn't know how good it was.
I actually though there was more crossover than that although I think we can agree there are a number of brands on both sides most people don't really consider.
BFG is rumored to be making the jump to ATI and I have never heard anything that great about PNY, besides ATI does have Sapphire and HIS which are both known for making awesome non reference cards with improved cooling. Besides how many brands do you really need? I would think that XFX, Asus, MSI, HIS, Sapphire and Visiontek would be plenty of options for ATI cards.
Personally I think people put to much weight on brands anyways, even good companies like evga have produced poor quality products before.
