Ditto,

Take it from someone who is looking at both sides habitually. I've owned a 8800GTX, a GTX 285 and now a GTX 580 and I can tell you when compared to my HD4850 and now the HD5850, on the same monitors no less; nvidia has plenty to be proud about. I'm extremely ocd about these things and will fiddle with catalyst and exe names to no end. Not to mention there are hundreds of articles which go over it.

The myth that seems to be permeating around here in lala land about nvidias IQ is entirely a carryover from the godawful 7 series days. Back then I worshiped my X1900XT with good reason.
