I've had several people push AMD for gaming scenarios... why?

Might axe the Killer Xeno according to several folks...
if you are using it for writing music yeah it would work. But if its for gaming/general use I would say it isn't needed. I had a xfi, but sold it because my mobos integrated card was the same quality.

and AMD is pushed more because they make better middle to middle-high end gaming stuff. I like Evga and Nvidia more because of the step-up program, and in my experience have been more stable.
