However, there's no getting around that they have way better framerates on most games when put up against me. That being said, the real question one has to ask is, what do you value most? Is it purely framerate, with a sacrifice in IQ, or do you put IQ over framerate? Honestly, the sacrifice in IQ for Nvidia cards isn't supremely noticeable, but the difference in framerates is noticeable. So, that's just my opinion.
