Hi all,
I've recently gathered together my things and decided to move from WinXP to Ubuntu. However I own both an nVidia and ATi graphics card and was wondering which one currently offers the best performance / support? I have used Ubuntu before (back at 6.06) and if I recall correctly the ATi drivers were hideous!
Since then I've read reports of ATi opening up their drivers and making some major revisions but I've done a quick search and can't seem to find any recent (2008 ) comparisons of the 2. So I'm wondering, have ATi cards improved any? Which card would you install with given the choice?
If it helps the 2 cards are pretty evenly matched (GF7800GTX vs RDX1900GT).
