I Build Computers

Grapics cards.

I have found AMD cards to be the cards of choice for me. I don't completely dislike Nvidia cards, but they tend to burn out on me far sooner then AMD cards do. I would reccomend Nvidia cards for those that are looking for power at the expense of stability. For some context I should mention I rarely shutdown my computers except for maintance or upgrades. AMD seems to handle that better than the Nvidia cards I have used.
I don't techically aim for building gaming systems, but ability is a nice side effect. Multitasking is more important to me and the games I do like aren't as demanding as many others are. I also prefer using dual monitors in my setups. I'm often gaming on one screen while having an eye on whatever I'm viewing in the browser on the other or keeping notes in Word.
I understand that others may disagree with me or have had different experiences. Would love to hear others opinions.

Note: currently using 2x 2GB HD 7850's. My First AMD card was an X1300. The Last Nvidia card I have used was a GTS 450.

I prefer them too, although I've tried virtually everything in my time. I'm currently on a Sapphire Radeon RX480 and it's running beautifully. I don't need high end gaming capability either but I do use the GPU for high performance computing.
