Hello all, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
I am contemplating building a new computer with an AMD/ATi graphics |
| 4 |
card. I've been following the subject of ATi driver quality in linux for |
| 5 |
a while, but I realize that the experiences I read on Google search |
| 6 |
results are, shall we say, biased, as many people who have perfectly |
| 7 |
working cards don't go out and comment on how great their drivers are. |
| 8 |
|
| 9 |
So, do any of you have newer (HD series) AMD/ATi graphics cards? |
| 10 |
What drivers (AMD closed source, or open source) are you using? |
| 11 |
Are they stable? |
| 12 |
How is the performance? |
| 13 |
Any noise issues with your card when it's idle? Under load? |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
I'd just like to point out that I have an NVidia 7900GTX right now, and |
| 16 |
it's been working well for me, but I'd like to upgrade to something with |
| 17 |
stream processors and little more power. I've heard that NVidia 2D |
| 18 |
performance under linux suffers greatly if you have an 8000, 9000, or GX |
| 19 |
series card. Have any of your experienced poor 2D performance since |
| 20 |
upgrading your NVidia card? |
| 21 |
|

Thanks, |
