Well Nvidia. Quality over speed for video encoding.
And I don't really care how much load it takes off the CPU. I paid for a quad and I want it to flex it's muscles.
Nvidia's PhysX support is nice for gaming too. Work and play all in one card/
Though I would guess Quadro cards would run Cuda even better than the GeForce range as they are aimed at work.
@Nintenboy01:
I don't know. PhysX is great and all, but I can't think of any games that have REALLY utilized it.
Sure, Mirror's Edge has an abundance of plastic wrap, and Arkham Asylum has a large quantity of paper all over the floor to fly around while you fight enemies, but is that really what PhysX is all about?
I still go with Nvidia... though not for any particular reason. I suppose I'm more well versed in Nvidia cards, and I have come to appreciate EVGA.
@qhead7: I love Cisco, I used to go to their user groups meetings and I remember one where they broke out their wireless VOIP phone and had it VPN-ed to a work extension number. (Think it was actually the Cisco 'iPhone') At the time it was pretty cool... I could probably use a Cisco Streaming "Digital Stereo System" for my birthday. Hope I can afford it, and they don't disappoint.
Cisco MP3 player maybe? That sounds like it has potential.

Am I gonna get banned for mentioning the poorest excuse of a graphics card ever?

Except when they fix prices.

But for pricing and fairness? Definitely. Better hope that they aren't collaborating within, though.
