Hi all,
At the moment I'm running an ATI X800 XT PE with the latest flgrx driver installed.
It handles Armagetron a lot better than it used to with the prior proprietary drivers - or the open source ati/radeon ones for that matter.
*BUT*
It ain't perfect, ATI are slowly pulling their finger out for the linux community but it still appears that nVidia have a considerable lead over them when it come to their cards WORKING WELL.
what I'm after is a card that can handle unreal 3 (if it ever comes out for linux!!!!), armagetron (possibly the best game of all time) and compiz-fusion without any grubby side-effects.
I want smooth desktop effects without the jittery bugs that can so often be seen with my now aging x800
any advice on what works/is best supported, then please let me know
regards
