This is going to start a flaming war ^_^
Ive used both and atm there both pretty decent; Ati is plagued with driver issues while nvidia has the heat issues ( iso of a die shrink ;P ).
Currently i'm a nvidia fan waiting for the die shrink fermi's ^_^

Been using Nvidia cards since I started building computers years ago. This rig is currently using an ATI card though. Price/performance depends on what I purchase.

Eh I've used both since long time ago. R.I.P Voodoo 3dfx!
Both have issues with certain games. Some games Nvidia doesn't run well, others ATI doesn't.
I think the 5000 series of ATI are very, very good for price/performance. And the 4000s are even better!

As of right now I'm running ATI 4850X2. dual core Vid card, with manual fans turned to approx 70%. runs 39c under load and 32c idle.
I used to run nVidia 8800GTS OC'd and after market cooled. ran fune until the update when they released the last update with the newer maps. then I started gettin a little laggin and glitching.. so I upgraded to dual core GPU and Water Cooling..
