Re: [PLUG] Which video card to use?


I think the nVidia is a more powerful card, but the ATi can use the opensource radeon drivers and has full 3d acceleration with them. I would give that a try first. It should do a decent job.

My Frankenputer currently has a nVidia Riva 128 (using Ubuntu's nv driver). I also have Radeon 7200 card which I could install. Which of these cards is faster for X-Org?
