Why did you choose AMD over NVIDIA or Nvidia over AMD?

I've got a question for thoes of you that choose AMD over Nvidia

Why? this is just something i wanna hear from people and not review web sites

was it the price, performance, deal, fan of AMD?

 

My very first card was 6870, and now i have a 670, my next card will be the 9000.

im not a fan boy of any kind, the 6000 series seemed like a better choice over the 400 series, and the 600 series seemed like a better choice over the 7000 series because they were competing with the 500 series which was 1 gen below the new Nvidia cards.

 

And people who choose Nvidia over AMD: Why?

Price, performance, Temperatures, FPS stability? Fan of nvidia? was Nvidia something you always chose and scared to give AMD a try?

 

Thanks for replys! :)

I chose Nvidia over AMD because of driver issues with AMD on my earlier 5850. I also found some love in Nvidia because of EVGA! :)

I chose AMD (7950 to be exact) because of the better price/performance ratio, and the Never Settle bundle.

CUDA mainly and the game deals they had at the time + the cards beating AMD. although I am considering AMD next time round they have certainly stepped up their game

I got a GTX 550ti as my first GPU because it was on sale for very cheap. When I built my current computer I stuck with Nvidia because I really liked the 550TI and had no problems with it. Did not see a point of switching.

I chose AMD because you get more performance for the price, if I ever get the money when an upgrade comes I would like to get an Nvidia card for the looks and the extra features you get when you get Nvidia cards (Sheild etc)

I chose AMD for the overclocking as well as the cheaper price. If I would of purchased my card a few weeks later, I would be saying I purchased it for the free games also; but unfortunately I didn't :/

I chose AMD because of the reviews compared to nvidia cards at the time, it fit in my price range, and I received 2 free games with the card.

Since to me price = marketing, I have absolutely no reason to buy an AMD card, they have no feature that Intel GPU don't also have let alone nVidia.

 

Edit: Well no feature I can think of except multi GPU

I go with Nvidia, yeah i admit that the nvidia graphics card a few dollars more expensive than amd, besides that. Nvidia can offer a more less power consumption (in some variants, not at all) and also in some of the tests that linus have been performed also proved that the combination of intel and nvidia can result in higher fps than the intel and amd, also if you 3D gamers, go nvidia again, because nvidia provide more 3D gaming experience than amd. I'm sorry if my post is too long (:

I chose nvidia because it's what i grew up with. So long as they stay competitive i will continue to buy from them. Currently rocking a titan and eagerly awaiting shadowplay and shield.

You just make me think of something, would ShadowPlay work when you play on the Shield or even would the Shield (Tegra 4 or maybe at Logan) be able to use ShadowPlay?
