I\'ve seen all of your threads to nO-One, and let me tell ya man, you\'re gonna give yourself an ulcer over this Geforce vs. Raedon stuff.

[nO-One]

The thing to consider with the Radeon8500 are the drivers, ATi doesn\'t have a very good reputation when it comes to driver support. The original Radeon was never used to it\'s full potential, the hardware was top notch but the software brought it down.

While nVidia (who have turned into the microsoft of the graphics industry) have a very good reputation when it comes to driver quality and driver support.

>>here<< is a very good thread about Radeon vs Ge-Force and it might help you. But right now to me atleast it all comes down to company loyalty.

The Radeon8500 on paper looks better than the Ge-Forces, however bad drivers are a real concern when dealing with ATi, some people claim that the current drivers are stable and good while others claim they aren\'t.
