ATi has great support for OpenGL and IIRC it beats ATi's cards beat nVidia's cards in every OpenGL benchmark

I've think you've got it the other way around. When doom 3 came out there was a big uproar from ATI owners about the poor performance. ATI released a press release saying that they were aware of the poor opengl performance and were in the process or writing a new opengl driver from scratch.
