2D image/video quality recommendations

Depends on which NG the answer comes from.

Hi all,

Interested to know which set of cards now have the better image (and
video)
quality, nV or ATi?
Came across a guy who says his Quadro looks better on screen than a 9800P.
Can this be true?

Views much appreciated!

Like asking the Pope or a Ribbi: "-which religion is the best one?"

I'm indifferent to whichever brand, call me disloyal, but I've switched from
ATi to nV and back and forth several times. Just intersted in some objective
opinions.

I've had several different cards myself, but the best 2d picture really
did come from my matrox cards. Having said that, the Parhelia's can't
keep up with the ATi of nVidia cards in 3d, so my guess is you are after
one of these for their 3d speeds. Considering those speeds aren't that
far apart, it's a rather good question. I'd say my current nVidia gives
a slightly sharper and more vivid picture than the last ATi I had, but
then again, I guess most ATi owners will give you the opposite answer.

What cards are you comparing? Who built the respective cards?

I'm not just a number. To many, I'm known as a string...

Try the LeadTek Winfast series of cards. The Ti4600 delivers 2D image
quality comparable to the Parhelia, according to this article:

I expect the newer LeadTek A350 FX5900 "ghetto blastah" cards to have
comparable, if not better analog filters.
