Thread: Recommend an ATi/AMD card?
i'm thinking of going amd in next build can give 9600 gt little brother, , because i've wanted recent amd/ati card can mess open drivers , see what's possible real card open source drivers. play handful of games (fallout 3, oblivion, world of warcraft , morrowind) in wine, deal of graphics card intensive stuff. i'd targeted towards mid-high end full opengl 4 support , enough power make laptop owning friends cry. this: 5/67xx series enough or should go 5/68xx+ range? oh, 1 more thing, i'd support more 2 monitors whether it's through linking on board ati graphics or sheer capability of card itself.
oh, , know looks i'm spamming cafe, intended firefox thread die days ago , nuclear thread went viral.
oh cool, gonna start thread myself.
pc shopping today. salesman @ store happened linux (debian) user , let me use natty liveusb on whichever pc wanted. sadness, of pcs amd card didn't want boot. desktop began load, flickering , hard lockup mouse cursor on black screen text.
on topic though, wouldn't recommend amd card if use linux graphics-intensive stuff. open source drivers fine, lack gaming. proprietary drivers apparently quite flaky.
