Hi, i have the following 2 video cards:

ati radeon x1950 pro

OR

NVIDIA Geforce 8600 GTS
Which one is better for gaming?

Thanks in advance!

A lot of people say it depends on the chipset of your motherboard, but i digress. I'd go with the nVidia, that's based on my bad experiences with ATI cards. but really if you have both, why not just try them out and see which one you like better?

It looks close depending upon the benchmark that you choose: http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics_2007.html

That ATI card is a bit faster then the Nvidia, but on the other hand that nvidia card has DX10 support, which makes newer games look a bit better. I would look trhoguh those benchmarks usasma posted and see which one you'd prefer.

IMHO I'd go with the Nvidia. (Then again, Im a little biased, as my machine is running a 8600GTS right now (256MB))

Just my 2 cents.
