I think ATi Chip is Better than nVidia.
It basicly boils down to personal prefrence. Benchmarks will show ATI or Nvidia in the lead depending upon the month. They've been fighting it out for quite awhile and niether of them ever stay on top too long.
Either way it doesn't really matter, since both companies put out cards that are better then what you need to play any current PC game. Heck you can sit back on a Geforce 4 TI or ATI 9xxx sieres card and still play any game on the market today and they are 2 generations out of date already.

1st: wrong forum for that
2nd:
sometime nV > ATi , sometime ATi > nV
you can't say "this one is better than the other" or "those sucks". On both side, some cards are better for some sort of thing. there's is "the best one" in general. It can be the best one for you if you play certain games that were based of a certain chipset ( like Doom 3 and nV).
anyway, it's up to preferences, some will prefer ATi , some will prefer nV. Both are good and there's no reason to insult or try to throw down one of them. On my side, I prefer nV cards but I know ATi ones are good ones too.

The only time one card is better then another is when using them in Linux, in which case, nVidia trouses ATI hands down because their driver support is inifinitly better. The X** line is just as good as the 6*** line.

more people should read reviews on hardware sites, they'll tell you whats best for you

As many others already said the choise really depends on your needs. Specific graphics chips are faster with specific games. Other than that nVidia has better drivers support for non-Windows platforms, ATi cards require less power (which is good for laptops), nVidia's cards aready support SLI, Ati's cards are usually a little faster when Anti-aliasing is used... etc.

Everything depends on the games. Some games like nvidia som don't. Nvidia is better with Doom3, Ati is better with HL2. The drivers also controls what's best, i like the nvidias drivers better then ati's. But if we are talking hardware and performence i think that ati is leading (at the moment). But as they say it depends on the needs, the nvidia 6xxx series are supporting smartshader 3.0 ati's x series only 2.1.

but i've a got a question: i have a GeForce4 MX 4000 64mb with Direct9 and the latest driver for it, i think its good enough for my emus but still can't emulate some thigs like blend mode. i wonder if its because of the memory (just 64mb) or it is because of being a Nvidia card...? does ATI cover up this lack? ah, i have 512 ddr and P4 2.4ghz
