Comment Did I make a mistake? (Score 1) 152
With a head full of ignorance and a pocket full of cash, I headed out to my local electronics superstore 2 days ago to catapult myself into the wonderful world of 3D. After much debating, I adventually left the store with an Elsa Erazor III, a TNT 2 based card, based on the fact that (1) it came with 3D shutter glasses (I'm a sucker for gimmicks), and (2) Nvidia seemed to be the most linux friendly graphics manufacturer out there.
Now, the 3D in windows is wonderful, and the glasses are impressive, but seeing how I'm in linux 99.9% of the time, this doesn't matter a great deal. It seems that performance on a TNT2 in linux is still substandard (I actually haven't gotten it to work at all yet, but that's my own fault), so, with this receint development, would it be in my best intrest to return it and get a Voodoo 3? Also, on a side note, is there a 'TNT under linux' resource that's any better than Nvidia's site?
