>I totally don't agree with you about Nvidia. They suck. Their cards suck (twice the transistors, half the speed, double the power) and their windows driver was responsible for the majority of Vista crashes (like 30% or 40% ..not 100% sure though) .. yeah great developers.

Would that have been on x64 by any chance? I have noticed that the 64-bit drivers only really caught up with 32-bit in the last year or two, although I only noticed visual glitches and some performance issues in certain areas. The only crashes I've ever had in Vista were due to godawful drivers for one of those hateful Speedtouch monstrosities.

Nvidia cards do have a slightly lower performance per watt, though not by much if you compare like with like, but still win in terms of absolute performance.
