Truth is, ATI has gotten much better about drivers, and Nvidia is feeling the heat. Buy which ever card you prefer, but don't trust all the benchmarks. The vendors lie, and Nvidia got caugh.
This is true - however, don't think for a second that ATI is perfect. They were also caught cheating on the 3DMark2003 benchmark by Futuremark. This happened when the benchmark was first released. ATI fired the employee who wrote the drivers and then re-issued the drivers. Of course, that only happened after they were discovered to have cheated on the benchmark.

In summary, just about every graphics board manufaturer is going to lie to get ahead these days. Especially with competition so very close (in sales).
