I am planning on getting a new video card. I have a nvidia geforce2 right
now and it works great under linux. I have not had any problems. I have
noticed that some of the Ati cards seem to have a bit better performance
in some of the tests on the hardware review sites. I was wondering how
the Ati support for linux is. My system is currently has an Asus A7N8X
Deluxe with an AMD 2400+ and 1G of 3200 ram.

I have an ABIT Siluro GF4 Ti4200 OTES-64MB graphics card, from lspci I get:

01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV25 [GeForce4 Ti 4200] (rev a3)

~$ glxgears
17564 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3512.800 FPS
19488 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3897.600 FPS
19876 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3975.200 FPS
19847 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3969.400 FPS
19851 frames in 5.0 seconds = 3970.200 FPS

I am running this card on a dual AMD 2100+ system with 1G Ram, using XFree 4.2.1 (from testing) and using the debian packaged nvida drivers.

I have not had any problems with this card, except for the noise the fan makes, which is quite loud... actually its louder than all the other fans I have in my case put together...!!! Also, I am limited to 1600x1200 resolution.

If anyone knows of a good card that will do 1900x1400, is silent, give as good a 3D performance and works with the testing distribution of debian I would be very interested...

Cheers.
Johnny.
