The bottom line is that these discussions are always a waste of time. It's people give their opinions on something that is fairly objective.

1) Decide how much money you have/want to spend on a graphics card.
2) Look at a couple of websites and see what cards you can get for that amount of money.
3) Go to a reputed benchmark website (<a href="http://www.anandtech.com/bench/GPU12/372" rel="nofollow">anandtech</a> is a good example) and see how those cards compare to each other.
4) Buy the one that seems to be the best value of money.
5) Profit.]]></description>

HD7870, for cheaper, averages 300 with Chris' HighQuality. 660 SC should be capable of the same.

Just throwing gfx card names at him is useless.

If the OP could provide a budget then at least we can throw useful names at him :p]]></description>

QFT.

Yeah sorry, I was too hasty with that conclusion... In the lower midrange, AMD definitely seems to be a better choice right now.

So true... Until that shit is fixed, single-gpu ftw.]]></description>

		<blockquote>Drivers also factor into a card's value. Because of drivers alone, ATI is not a good choice for gaming on Linux, and many (if not most) AAA titles have performance issues with ATI cards on release, becoming playable weeks, if not months later.</blockquote>Honestly who the fuck plays games on Linux.. The thing you said about drivers might be true if you would have said it like a year ago.]]></description>

		<blockquote>I think for gaming, you will gain an overall slight advantage in terms of performance per currency when you go with Nvidia in general (in the "low to upper midrange" sector at least, 125-300 euros).</blockquote>

Nearly every benchmark existing disagrees with that statement :p 

The driver statementa however, is correct, although it is worth noting ATis drivers have improved substantially and they have better support atm in terms of driver release. As to whom has the better drivers? No idea, purely subjective imo.]]></description>
