AMD/ATI vs Nvidia and/or Intel

There are all statistics though. They don't predict which brand will perform better for you the individual, only say it is un/likely. One person can have a streak of bad luck with the same brand that the other person swears by.

 

By the way, I would love to see Elbrus enter the mainstream competition one day. EPIC/VLIW are very interesting architectures and would surely shake things up a bit, considering they will usually have far lower clock frequencies due to their very high IPC (Elbrus 2000 from 6 years ago can do over 20 instructions per cycle which is unheard of with today's processors, and was only clocked at 300 MHz.).

One thing is for sure. The games I like support Radeon more than Nvidia, sometimes even a generally stronger Nvidia loses to a weaker older Radeon due to that fact.
