I vote GeForce..... I never actually got to own a ATI card :( Went from a voodoo 3000,Nvidia TNT 2,geforce 4600 TI,6800 GT,8800GT,GTX 280,GTX 480, and GTX 590 :P Go green team. But I think soon I would go with the red team in their next card delivers.
no preference. i have had good experiences with both camps so in the end i just get the card from the company that has the performance i want at the right price. at the mo im all AMD as they had the right hardware at the right price. fermi was badly delayed (and turned out to be a bit of a disaster anyway) and intels platform, though excellent, was a bit too pricey at the time. my last rig though was an intel/nvidia system (i had the 8800GTX...legend of a card :D) which was also excellent until it broke. im not quite sure what happaned to it. initally i thought it was just the GPU but it seems the CPU also went. hit by lightening? :S. ah well that was a long time ago. in terms of reliability and drivers i havent had any major bad experiences with either.
In the videocard arena, I prefered nVidia the last few years, mainly because I know that they won't completely abandon driver support for a card that doesn't sell well. I would consider ATI again in the future, but only if I'm buying a card that I know will get support...
Voted for Ati because I think they are a slightly better deal right now. I've had GF4 MX460, Radeon 9550, GF 9400GT and HD 4670. BTW I've been using that 9400GT for less than half a year. Yeah it was that bad.
I've owned both companies cards and can say I have no preference at all. Actually I shouldn't say that I prefer XFX, all the cards I have bought recently have been XFX; 2 Nvidia and one AMD.
I'm an Nvidia guy. They got better drivers, and they actually push tech in the GPU department. I hated hunting down drivers when I owned a 5870 so I could get rid of the sutters in BFBC2, and I hate hunting down drivers and cfx profiles for my dual 5770s on my secondary system.
My last PC had a Radeon card which I was pretty happy with, and my current one has a Geforce card which I'm happy with. I don't really have a preference, so future purchases will be based on which is better for the price I guess.
Can you set different settings for different games with AMD's drivers yet?
That's so useful for me.

never used that but you can change some settings , everything is on application controlled with me So you can for example force AA and AF in one specific game but have everything application controlled on another?

You don't have to do that if you use ATT. You can make custom game profiles that include both DirectX and overclocking settings. I call that a plus for Ati/AMD (don't know of a similar program for Nvidias).

If you use a 3rd party program thats the key word. Nvidia's ESA tools comes with Overclocking tools and interactive hardware monitor too. But Nvidia drivers do have overclocking options once you enable it.
