of course it creates alot of "FUD" when in every technical forum I read the past 2 weeks more than 2/3 of all gpu problems are related to radeon and their drivers and way less to nvidia.
Lucky the one who has radeon all his live long and never had a single problem with it. internet majority seems to disagree. I had 5 nvideas and 1 ati so far,out of them only one caused problems. Now guess which one it was and got replaced 3 month later.
I never said that there is any NV out atm in this price range that will beat the 58 on performance.
Further i didnt meant to buy a gf100 / 200 when released but maybe the 295gtx will drop in price then.

Statistically speaking it's in recent years generally 50-50. But recently the G80/G92 GPUs start to give problems, first the reports where about laptops only, but now more and more desktop cards are suffering from the same.
My laptops motherboard needed to be replaced thanks to the GF8400gs it has.
Infact, I've had to RMA 3 gfx cards (count the laptop as well), twice my Geforce 4 TI4600. Oh, and I had a couple of low end GF7x00 / GF2MX die on me as well which weren't my fault. The final end of my GF4Ti4600 was my fault, but the two other times certainly wasn't.
My Ati based gfx cards have (sofar) been running nicely.
I've heard about bad Ati Drivers in the past, but that was in the Geforce 3/Ati 8500 era. Since the Ati 9x00 it is/should be OK.
Oh and show me the 'internet majority' you're taling about.
http://googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=nvidia+problems&word2= ati+problems <-- Nvidia 'wins', it has more problems.
http://googlefight.com/index.php?lang=en_GB&word1=nvidia+driver+problems& ;word2=ati+driver+problems <-- About even, but Nvidia 'wins' again.
