AMD vs. Nvidia: Which is better for gaming?

[Pizzaman633]

Hello, everyone! I am going to build a $650 gaming PC and I'm having trouble deciding on a graphics card. I'm not sure weather to go with AMD or Nvidia. I'm kind of a noob to the computer and gaming world, so I need your help on which one to go with. I hear Nvidia has better performance while AMD is cheaper. Which is best?

I have 13 PC's here, 7 of them exclusively for Gaming and nothing else. I DID have some AMD cards....But every single problem I had was only on the machines with AMD cards. The problems all disappeared when the cards were replaced by Nvidia cards.

AMD is very unstable. Thats true. You have much driver problems. And much Blue Screens. When you are an AMD user you only wait for new drivers only to see that nothing has changed. And when it maybe somehow gone, the next driver will it bring back or you will have new problems.

Off course they are guys which have no problems with AMD ... but i think the most AMD users have problems or they try dont say something to it or live with it.

I dont know. My first ATI ... flickering non stop. Nothing solved it. My first AMD ... Blue Screens and a lot of other stuff. Nothing could ever fix it. Clean system and everything. In two different systems i tested it. The same.

What blue screens? The last time I had a graphics driver blue screen was no less than 4 months ago.
