GPU mining - Nvidia vs AMD?

[strange]

Hi

I'm interested in playing with some GPU mining. I don't expect to achieve much, just want to learn a bit. One thing I've noticed while starting to research a bit, is everyone seems to talk about AMD GPUs rather than Nvidia. My machine has an Nvidia 6800m which isn't doing much most of the time, and I'm wondering if Nvidias aren't as good for some reason?

Here's a summarized article on why ATi > Nvidia when it comes to GPU mining.

Ah, thanks for those. Got it wrong, I have a 680m :-)

Will research further.
