My graphics card isn't good enough for NBA Live, but everything else on my PC is way over standard. I have the prob with the arena names (on the court) flashing. I just try to ignore it.. I'm too cheap to buy a new grfx card.

I'm a supporter of nVidia myself, got a new card not all that long ago (replacing my old GeForce 4 Ti4200). No complaints so far. :)

It's not the brand of the card that matters...its the motion in the ocean. :hump:

Similarly, when you're with a girl it's not size that matters but rather the speed of your processor. :P

I've had mostly ATI's, and they always worked great for me. NVIDIA's are just as good though. I always buy the best graphics card out there when I buy mine, so it depends which brand has the better card at the time.

I'll pay that, but I'm taking points off for failing to use the "3 1/2 inch floppy" reference. (N)

ATI all the way! I have always liked ATI's performance. I just purchased a 256MB Radeon X850XL for $215 which isn't bad at all. I just sold my Radeon X800GTO which played NBA Live at 1600x1200 at max settings with no lag whatsoever so I'm sure this will do even better. Plus if you get a Sapphire it comes with Trixx to overclock it or you can use the Omega drivers to get more bang for your buck.
