what i know so far: Nvidias are cheaper and have a history of running very hot but performing well unless they go critical and suffer a meltdown, and EVGA makes the best factory spec'd ones.
AMD is Far, far more expensive(their best factory spec'd brand is Sapphire) and i assume they run well and are nice and cool, being that they supposedly started dual fans on cards being controlled by the processor automatically through a proprietary driver.
correct me if i'm wrong... besides fanboying, which one is better/do you think is better?

EVGA and Sapphire are both pretty good, can't go wrong with either one. AMD does have Catalyst Control Center for all of its graphics cards, but some graphics cards from both manufacturers tend to include their own (optional) overclocking software that goes beyond the scope of CCC. It's really just up to you. AMD is cheaper, Nvidia has more features.
