Nah, ATi videocards suck. Not the actual videocard, but the drivers ATi puts out. The drivers for Windows are a joke, the drivers for Linux are rediculous.
Best thing you can do now is to buy a GeForce FX and replace the stupid cooling system.

I agree. I've owned 2 Radeons(a R8500 and a R9700 Pro) and I had nothing but problems with them. Screw ATI and the shit drivers that they pull out of thier ass. I'll stick with NVidia cards. ;P
Calum:
well i have an ATI card, and yes it sucks. a mate of mine has a different video card and it also sucks. mdk 9.0 couldn't even run X on his. mine runs X 4.x fine, but the card claims it will work with hardware acceleration, but fails to do so. you need to turn that off (which has no GUI for doing so of course, so for newbies it sucks).
however the drivers for ATI cards in linux are reverse engineered are they not? i could be wrong but i was under the impression that the cards from ATI do not come with linux drivers and that ATI support in linux was community supported, is that right? if so then anything's a bonus after all...
GamerX:
Does GeForce FX support DirectX 9?
Fett101:
Yep
Faust:
What does everyone else think of this new "Cg" or whatever? (The new nvidia programming language thing designed for optimized graphics only.) Hype or will it actually provide a benefit? (If coders actually use it that is?)
