I will say that the ATI drivers can be unstable and often times can/will lock your pc.
ATI is aware of their regular driver problems and have written a specific tool that can be run when you find your system totally unstable and you need to rollback your drivers, this to me is a sign that they are aware of their drivers (at least in the past) caused havok with a lot of people's systems.

ATI Uninstall utilities

That being said, I'm a fan of both companies, I have both Nvidia and ATI. If we (as consumers) didn't have both competing against each other we would have much higher prices, less technological breakthroughs and probably lesser quality.

Gotta love the competition... but I dropped nvidia BECAUSE of their drivers..they were so horrible with me..I(on my old box) am sitll be the 4 series because the 5s and 6s lock up even fresh windows installs if I tried to play a D3D game. (ATi hasn't caused a single issue for me until these 4.10's and CoD)

ATi has been much more consistant with their drivers then nvidia ever has for myself.

Nvidias driver releases I dread and am scared about.. ATis I have nothing but performance jump hopes, and now a fix for my CoD.. anyhow.. ATi seems to be more consistant with my hardware.

The hardware scene changes monthly and bimonthly, each main driver release jumps these new cards 5-20% im performance. And they seems to unviel new cards every 2 months..

X700 looks good once it ships.. 150 bucks for that perforamnce? hell yeh.

If u wanna bring image quality into this.. they are quite equal until u turn on optimizing features on Nvidias....
