Re: [PLUG] AMD or nVidia?

[John Kreno <john.kreno@gmail.com>]

If you are going to stick with Open Source drivers, I might just stick with Intel integrated video. If you don't mind me asking, What's your specific use case ? (3D modeling, CAD, Etc) ?

I will be purchasing a new video card in a few weeks, and wonder if anyone has any suggestions regarding AMD vs nVidia architecture.

I have traditionally used nVidia, both with and without the proprietary drivers.   Nouveau (my preferred driver) seems buggy to me, but I'm not sure if the AMD open source drivers are any better.

BTW, I'm not looking for specific card recommendations, just an overall architecture analysis.

Anybody have an opinion they want to express?
