ATI or nVidia – The Unix Way

By Babak Farrokhi, February 22, 2007 9:09 am

I have always been an ATI fan since nVidia did not exist. And so far it served well on my workstations. I don’t even care that they are part of AMD now.
However, something that was annoying me for a while was ATI’s driver which seems to not as good as nVidia’s in *nix, especially for their newer and high-end cards. I am not sure why ATI does not care much about their non-windows drivers, but I am sure that they are loosing lots of faithful customers and a good market share for just the same reason.

    My first P4 had an nVidia GeForce4 MX 460.
    Excellent support for the drivers under Linux!

    My second P4 has an ATi Radeon 9600 and ever since I’m pretty much sure my next PC will have an nVidia inside again. ATi’s Linux-drivers are a PITA!
