"Historically, Nvidia has been regarded as the better candidate for providing 3D acceleration in Linux. But with more people than ever dipping their feet into the desktop Linux pool, AMD/ATI has responded by increasing its Linux driver efforts. HEXUS's Jo Shields takes a look at a pair of beefy graphics cards, one Nvidia, the other ATI, taking a look not just at 3D performance, but also at accelerated video playback and their control panels. FTA:So who is the winner of this heated battle then? You are — the consumer. Whilst NVIDIA still came out on top, it did so with only the smallest of margins in most cases — and you can feel confident that owning a Radeon is no longer a blocker to a decent experience in Linux.
Hooray for consumer wins."
