I've been following this a little although I do have an nVidia card. You |

should check out Phoronix: |

They are probably the top followers of Linux display drivers that I know of. |

But off the top of my head I'd say that the ATI Catalyst drivers (closed |
17 |
source) are really getting pretty good now and almost on par with their |
18 |
windows equivalent. |

The RadeonHD (open source) drivers are also getting pretty good, although it |
20 |
depends on the chipset you're using (some have better support than others), |
21 |
and if you're not doing cutting edge gaming, they should perform fine for |
22 |
you. |
