I had ati amd nvidia even a voodoo card back in the old day and a matrix even ,i dont consider myself a fan of either of the two teams.Never had a problem with an ati/amd card,once a nvidia card got burned but i considered it was a faulty psu.The problem is that i bought a qosmio toshiba for a 2500 euros and it had a 560m nvidia card which got burned twice while being under warranty.I never did any overclocking,the card is hot as hell even at idle and throttles like crazy even playing simple games. Last year i built my pc and got a r9270x oc version which till now can play alot of games in 1920 resoolution and modded skyrim with vividian enb As a conclusion i am trying to get value for money from my cards but i am abit dissapointed from nvidia.
