here is the low down with ati vs. nvidia in linux
ati doesnt care about linux, there drivers horrible.
in the time before last release drivers, a geforce 5700 would beat a 9800 by
a sizable margin.
nvidias drivers are much better and perfom much better. the new ati drivers
improve the situation, but, it is still crappy compared to nvidia.
