i always found nvidia always making horrible mid-range products. But then ATI is horribly over priced. What can you do?
amen. you are so correct.dude i would have to say ATI........for now. Reason is is because AMD just bought ATI, Nvidia's competitor, n it's very likely we wont see very many Nvidia chipsets with AMD's CPU sockets, at least from what ive seen.
i believe their product, HD 2900 XTX, can blow the 8800 Ultra out of the water. Right now it's rumored to have a 65nm which can totally bring down power consumption so it wont take 240w or 250w or whatever the HD 2900 XT takes. This is my next graphics card, OEM version by the way, im going to do whatever i can to not get a graphics card until this baby is released. I dont even have a job yet, but i need a graphics card to replace my 6600 LE though.
ATI (AMD) > Nvidia

What do you think about 6600GT and 7600GT ? They were the best mid ranged video card at its time.
Right now 7600GT is the best choice for people who want to buy a good video card under $100
You can't know that HD2900XTX will be better or not, before it comes out, and from what I know HD2900XTX will not come out. Instead ATI will release HD2950XTX in August or September. But again nvidia G92 will come out late this year and it supposed to beat all ATI products.
And you should not forget that 8800series came 6 months before HD2900 series. When 8800 series came out it was the top video card, and currently nvidia still have the top video card. So, nvidia had top products for most of the time.

ATI really controls a lot of the lower end market, while Nvidia really controls the higher end. ATI only has one high end card, to Nvidias 4. So at this point the competition isn't as heated as it's been before, hopefully we see things get back to usual soon enough, because without competetion in the high end market, we've see Nvidia cards with huge prices, which isn't cool.
