I had this nvidia card geforce 4 ti4200.
it had some problems so i took it to the serviser and its been a month they are "fixing" it
i would ask them to give me another one. but the only one with the same price now is powercolors radeon 9600 pro 256mb.
i heard that ati's drivers for linux are sh*t so i was wondering, how shit are they?
will that card still be better than gf4 ti4200? btw it has 128mb ram.

enlighten me

yes they are shit... lol... there are generic radeon drivers.. but they don't support 3d acceleration.. there are some proprietary closed-source ati drivers... but you'd be better of staying with Nvidia.. BTW - you should check out this

already signed the petition
the thing is i cant stay with nvidia, the gf4 is busted and no other graphicks card with the same price

so downgrade a little bit?? you'll get better performance out of a 64 MB Nvidia card than a 256 MB ATI card...

My notebook uses a Radeon IGP 340m card... 32 MB of shared DDR.. and ATI doesn't even make a binary driver for it... so I'm stuck using vesa... which works fine for general purposes... but i can't play anything OpenGL.. i get like 3-4 frames/second...

argh! damn!
hehe halo14 ... squirly wrath

yes, foamy is my hero... lol..

Sorry but I dare to argue with you and tell you folks that I have a GeCube 9600 PRO 128MB and that it works like a miracle. I played UT2K, Q3 and no problem.
UT2K -> 800*600 Full detail
Q3 -> 1024*768 Full detail 120 FPS
so....
I had to do some digging but it paid off...
If you have problems in installing it please let me know. I have installed it succesfully on MDK 10.0, MDK 10.1. About FC1 - didn't make it. FC2 didn't try.

And about drivers you can find ATI 3D drivers on their site:

Good luck! Sometimes they work...it's all about not letting go...

i say stay with nvidia.. on windows i get 400 fps on my ati 9600 256 mb card but on linux i only get around 80.. which is sad cuz my Geforce 2 64 mb was abled to get a constant 125 fps (i didnt uncap it)
