Nvidia guarantees the best OpenGL support ;)

I'd go for Nvidia too, had my GeforceII GTS for a while now (couple of years) and it's still holding it's own :D

i personally have a gf4 4200 128MB and it rox! i don't recommend getting a card with anything less then 128MB memory, especially as games get bigger and hog more resources. the 9500 seems like a good card, but only get it if u can get a 128MB version

Golden Rule of 3d:
If you are using max, use Nvidia.
If you are using maya, use ATI.

This was said to me by some hardware guy at a conference. I tend to agree with him.:)

Unless you have a Quadro and use max 5. Max 5 was out since July and Nvidia hasn't done anything to optimise their "professional" drivers for it. As far as gaming cards go I'd chose 4200 though.
