Hi Brandt,

nvidia cards in Linux perform real well. I haven't had a chance to make precise comparisons but, to me, they seem to have the most reliable/performant driver for the Linux architecture.

My laptop is equipped with : Nvidia GeForce 8400M GS (128MB VRAM) My desktop has : Nvidia GeForce FX5700 LE (256MB VRAM)

Both perform real well with the lovely GEM library (my lyrical contribution to the topic...)

I know that question is ask and discussed ever and ever again, but from time to time there is a need of an update caused by the newer hardware offerings on the market.

What kind of GC would be a recommandation to buy.

Thank you in advance Markus Brandt

I have a ATY RadeonX1600 in my first generation macbookpro, and I noticed some differences to the nvidia cards of later generations. one of the things not supported by my ati card is vertex texture fetching http://techreport.com/discussions.x/8872. if you want to work with shaders, see if you card is glsl 3.0 compatible. marius.
