Using AMD myself, still does excellent in games while at the same time sending very nice HDMI 7.1 sound to my receiver. 
Vancha, if your running 1280 x 1024, I'd suggest a new monitor the next time your in the market. Whatever your PC buying budget is, split it in half. Half goes to the monitor and half the PC. You'll have the LCD for much longer than you keep that PC. |
The Steam numbers are not entirely accurate.
For example, the Q1 and Q2 sales for NVIDIA this year have been 22.5% and 20.0% respectively. The numbers include integrated. Their total market share has dropped by 28.8% since Q4 2009. These are based on their quarterly reports.
As for the NVIDIA vs AMD debate, both companies are very solid. Based on reviews, neither brand has a major overall advantage. Price/performance on both is better than ever.
