Somehow Radeon is following NVIDIA this days, to become the longest card race

Your question is quite open. But this is ATI thread, so you will be recommended to go for ATI

ATI Does 3D

The HDMI port supports HDMI 1.4a, which allows audio and video streaming of Blu-ray 3D. This is pertinent, as AMD introduces 3D support with the HD 6000-series, dubbing its technology the buzzword-tastic HD3D. AMD is using a passive, polarised method for its 3D, unlike Nvidia and it’s 3D Vision shutter glasses. To enable 3D on an ATI system you’ll need a piece of middleware software from a company such as DDD. At the moment there are very few displays that ATI’s version of 3D.

The new 3D support matches up with the new UVD 3 technolgy to enhance video playback (again a slightly pointless feature on a gaming-grade graphics card if you ask us), which adds support for a few MPEG formats that UVD 2 didn’t cater for.
