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?

Nvidia hasn't been known for overheating since Fermi. It's AMD who are more associated with hotter temps. Currently it's Nvidia who dominate the high end cards and AMD who are the best for low/medium tier cards. However, each have a sweet line of cards with their own feature so it's difficult to decide who is best.
