well, its Nvidia by necessity and not by choice. i was really wanting ATI to release an AGP compatable board based on the X1900, but since they've quit developing products for the AGP bus, i had to "settle" with an Nvidia GF 7800 GS (via BFG Tech).
don't get me wrong, i love how powerful my card is. its just that i wanted the capabilities of the X1900 which allows you to use both HDR lighting and Anti-Aliasing at the same time. plus the extra pixel processors really help things out. and i say that not because i'm always looking for the latest and greatest but rather because i don't plan on upgrading my computer (or buying a new one) for at least a year, probably 2.

7800 GTX 512s in SLI mode. I hate not being able to play Oblivion without HDR and AA switched on though.

I'm an nVidia fanboy. I only have a TI 4200 right now but I'd really like to upgrade to a 6800 or even a 7800 soon. Actually I really just need a new computer.

I have an ATI 9600SE
Weak by today's standard. But I've never understood the idea of shadow improvement. In BF, if I turn shadows off, Dark Troopers become readily visible in areas where there would be shadows. Or any enemy for that matter. Shadows only hinder your ability to see enemies. AND turning them off improves performance.

Currently, nVidia is behind my card, but I'm moving over to ATI soon because I'm not that impressed by the quality of the card that they boasted.
If I die today, I'm happy how my life turned out

nVidia because i've always bought their product and my first impression of ATI is that its Linux's drivers are hard to install when my friend had trouble installing it on his laptop.
go nVidia!!!

ATI
...and I'm still pissed that LA refused my support request because my video card wasn't in the 'supported' list. Guess what - I finished BOTH K1 and K2 with below minimum spec'd video card and without incident (was a missing cutscene file from K2)

It's true that ATI seems less supportive of linux drivers than nVidia. Late last year they released a driver incompatible with recently released kernel versions. I had to spend a good chunk of my day writing a patch for it.
nVidia on the otherhand has support for pretty much all of their card's functions (correct me if I'm wrong). Where as ATI typically doesn't have drivers for ATI staples, like TV-in on the All-in-Wonder line.
Sadly I didn't have a say in the specs of my new laptop - it has an ATI chip in it. I'm just lucky I've had experience dealing with their issues on my other boxes.

I have an XFX nVidia 6600GT overclocked from 500mhz core/1000mhz memory to 550mhz core/1100mhz memory. Runs Half Life 2 on my outdated AMD Athlon XP 2000+ and 384MB RAM with almost no problems whatsoever (it goes to about 5-10 fps for the first 5-6 seconds after it loads, and then goes to 30+fps, but that's just because of my low amount of ram).

ATI X800, and a Slackware Linux. The ATI works fine on my Linux.

NVIDIA 7800 GTX on my gaming PC and NVIDIA GeForce 4 Go on my laptop.
For some reason I've got this notion in my head that NVIDIA cards match up better with Intel processors and ATI cards match up better with AMD processors. And since both my systems are Intel driven I guess that is why I've gone with NVIDIA graphics. Not saying the above is true, just stating my reasoning, faulty though it may be.

This is hard to say because I used ATI Radeon 9800 earlier, but now I use Radeon X1300 and nVidia Quadro FX 1400 simulatously.

Mine is the 32mb 'upgrade'. It plays Kotor, though, so I'm happy.

I always buy Nvidia. I've seen it outperform ATI everytime I've run it on comparable cards side by side for bench testing. Not too mention I have encountered much fewer failures of the chipsets on Nvidia's side.
Working so, we will learn history as a tree knows it; we will climb into shapes printed in the seed; we will become time made visible, years made fragrant; we will make of concentric memory a stem of praise; we will inhabit daylight at a trees own speed; we will be travelers who remain, patriots to this ground.
