Hardware, Software, and Other Imperialist Crap / Nvidia vs. ATI on a Linux system?

« on: July 31, 2005, 06:25:03 AM »

I am getting a new graphics card for my desktop and wanted to know if I should be shooting for a certain brand. I've got Ubuntu running on it and I know they support Nvidia, with the Nvidia drivers built in. I also know that Nvidia keeps up to date Linux drivers. I don't know how well ATI supports their hardware in Linux systems and I am aslo going for ease of use. If one is going to be more Linux friendly I want to go in that direction.

I know TheJudge just got an ATI X800XL but I don't know what OS he's running? Demo, what kind of card do you have with your Slackware distro?

The important thing, though, is that I can use them with games. Of course any of them will setup fine for desktop use. But I need to find the one that best suits games as well.

Thanks for any input, Eric.

However, now comes the important task of learning how to use the advanced new user interface. For starters, my copy of Windows came bundled with a new-fangled input device called a "mouse." I'm not really sure why it's called that, since it is neither furry, cute, nor squeeky. Fortunately, Windows comes with a tutorial for how to use the mouse. Unfortunately, before I had seen the tutorial, I had made repeated attempts to tempt it into motion with some cheese. This resulted only in an unsightly stain on my desk.

I just wanted to say that every time I leave this forum I feel that I have lost minutes of my life that I will never get back. It's like watching one of those made for TV movies and the thinking to yourself, WOW, that really sucked!
