    they are pretty even tbh

    nvidia do better at some games than ati but then ati do better and some games than nvidia.... it really depends on which graphics card vendor the game is optimised for.

    Skys the limit on price once you start doubling up on cards too. Nvidia cards seem to have extras like physics chips.

    Whats the max amount of cards you can run on a system?
    I think it's 3. So you could spend more than €1500 on graphics alone.
