Optimum performance means probably one with a dual dvi output. Then it |
| 17 |
depends on what the customer actually wants. Is 3d performance important? |
| 18 |
Is support for the latest features important? Basically there is the |
| 19 |
choice between ati and nvidia chipsets. If you want 3d and dual monitor, |
| 20 |
the 2048x2048 virtual screen limitation for the opensource ati driver |
| 21 |
probably counts it out. I don't know whether that limit exists in the |
| 22 |
closed driver, or in the nvidia driver. In maturity the nvidia closed |
| 23 |
driver probably is better than the closed ati driver. |
