Really? The way I actually see it is this:
Nvidia / AMD
-Slower driver releases, people waiting for the next driver (which comes in monthly intervals) / ALMOST EVERY DAY I see a new application profile supporting a game properly and major driver released are not to be taken lightly.
- CUDA? LOL / Supports OpenCL, a standard far more likely to survive than the proprietary CUDA which is basically used because people have no other alternative to turn to for faster GPU computation. Had AMD had the CUDA technology, I would go AMD for sure, only in GPUs though, but as OpenCL gains support, so does AMD, and so does my tendencies towards this brand.
-PhysX? LOL! / Same as OpenCL, basically the best way to move forward is to take things the Open way, as in, I would also prefer that DirectX die and OpenGL take over, had OpenGL received the developer support DirectX receives nowadays (hello again, no other solution, Linux / Mac users are usually left in the dark. Wanna play the latest game? Heck no problem, just install Vista. Remember that fiasco?? ONLY 33 games supported DirectX 10 when DirectX 11 came out! It's only in countries like this one that we have no such problem, our Windows INSTALLATION DISCS come bundled with a crack!)
-Power? Consumes it like there's no tomorrow! Just compare the Radeon 6970 and the GTX 580, which had been continuously trading blows at the high-end with each new driver release, and likewise compare the HD5870 and the GTX480, THIS one is not even a fair comparison!
- Heat problems? AMD?? hahahaha, refer to the power consumption comparison, and keep in mind that after all, heat is a function of power consumption, and it's not a well-known fact that Nvidia's stock coolers are any better than AMD's. They are both the purest forms of shit.
