That's a perfectly valid point. But for every disgruntled nvidia user
there are 100 who are just happy to be able to play UT2004.
Are you sure? I don't know but i've literally seen tons of complaints.
It scared me away and i just stick with my old g400.
I'd certainly back it up. In the communities of users of some open
source projects with a heavy 3D bent (e.g. the Flightgear simulator),
it seems like most use nVidia and are quite happy. To the extent
that there've been issues, they've been with ATI cards. I don't
doubt that you've seen lots of complaints from nVidia users; but I
suspect it's because of population size.
