I’ve always felt Nvidia cards are tons better/more stable for gaming and so on, it’s just for mining really with ATI isn’t it. Same with Intel versus AMD really on CPUs, give me an intel any day, AMD seems more about cheap speed but the speed can be glitchy, although I’m using one now.
What’s interesting is that ATI could perhaps gain more of a market share than Nvidia here from an off-label use if mining takes off even more. I wonder if they will capitalize on this and put some money into creating dedicated mining cards? And I also wonder if Nvidia will be making changes/additions to some of their cards in the future to better support mining.
