ati driver issues keep me away every time I look at buying new gfx card.
ofc I think both ati and nvidia suck in the new driver feature department... I want more progress on video encoding/transcoding.. |

Absolutely! Its never been easier these days..
As for the new R9 cards.. we shall see: I won't get anything which uses those Catalyst drivers. Nvidia's drivers always seem to work especially with third-party apps. Now ask the people @ Autodesk which cards they have the most troubles with: yep, ATi. |

And the fact now that nVidia will be more involved with linux driver development, can only mean good things especially the fact their dealing with OSS. |
