Either one, It depends on which one is on top at the moment. That will determine which company and card/cards I will chose at the time.

Me too. Also it depends what I will use it for. CUDA for editing, AMD with openCL(not sure) for bitmining

I use i5-3470, 8GB kingston, SSD + 2x hdd, GTX 970

I always have bought NVIDIA Cards. Not that the AMD aren't good, but i never had a reason to change.

Nvidia, not exactly by choice. I have to have CUDA for Adobe programs, but I don't care about PhysX. I have a GTX680, but I would of prefered to get better performance in the games, saving a bit of money, getting more VRAM, and getting 3 free games by getting a 7970.

 

WCYD... I did get my EVGA Signature+ 680 on ebay though for $420 so I'm still happy :P

I used amd for awhile but I always had trouble with drivers or crossfire for some reason. I now have sli 660ti's (nvidia manufactured) and couldn't be happier!

Pretty much what offers what I want/need. Personally, my most recommended and favorite card is the 7870XT, despite the fact that I'm running Titans. It's more about what offers the best value depending on your needs.

I've pretty much stuck with NVIDIA, no offence to AMD. I personally like having PhysX in case a good game comes along to take advantage of it like Borderlands 2 or Batman: Arkham City. CUDA is a bonus whenever I need some rendering horsepower.

While I do have a brand preference towards AMD, I buy from whomever gives me the best value for my money spent. I bought my 7950 because of Sleeping Dogs, Far Cry 3, and Hitman Absolution being bundled for free. 2 of those 3 games I intended on buying so I actually saved money.

Desert Storm PC | Corsair 600T | ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ | AMD FX-8350 | MSI 7950 TFIII | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 | Seasonic X650W I Samsung 840 series 500GB SSD

Mobile Devices I ASUS Zenbook UX31E I Nexus 7 (2013) I Nexus 5 32GB (red)

I hate my GTX 680s. Downclocks on high temps and voltage is locked. Boost Clock overclocking is weird as hell. Would jump over to red camp for my next upgrade.
