From what I've seen, on balance ATI cards seem slightly more

Just for the record, frame rates are excellent with my new FX5200 but
the computer locks up far too frequently when using the "nvidia" driver.
Seems to be fine with the "nv" driver.
This is the driver package I downloaded from Nvidia:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-7667-pkg1.run
Which one are you running? Btw, you asked and I forgot to answer-
I'm using 1024x768 at 16 bits.
I've had no problems with 7667 on SuSE 9.3/FX5500 and Mandrake
10.1/FX5200. The only problem was caused when my new kernel was compiled
without the agpgart module and VC mode screens when switching from X
were just a series of blotches. The README file suggests options that
can be tried.

For the FX5200 on Mandrake 10.1 also using a DVB-T card.
