    Ati is getting a lot better. In about 10 months, I think it'll be hard to call, but right now I'd go nvidia.

    If it's an Ubuntu-only non-gaming PC, why have either, just get a motherboard with Intel on-board graphics and sound.

    You're kidding?

    I'm still new to ubuntu but...

    I've had lots of probs with intel drivers on my old laptop. Full screen video in jaunty just did not want to work.

    New laptop with ATI works pretty well. A bit of a delay opening windows when compiz fusion is running but otherwise fine.

    NVIDIA works fantastically on my desktop under jaunty. Seems to work much better than vista when running graphics intensive tasks e.g. matlab visuals and mevislab 3d rendering.

    Sure there are a lot of other factors besides the graphics card but that seems to have made the biggest difference to me.

    And I stand by it thirteen months later.

    9.04 might not play nicely with Intel graphics adapters, but there are other options available which work beautifully.
