Hello,
I posted this to two related linux usenet
groups the other day. If any of you has any
opinion about ATI Vs nVidia (in context of Linux/xfree86)
please let me know.
Thanks,

Subject: Choosing between the two vendors
Greetings,
Any technical opinion for the case below is greatly appreciated:
We're about to launch our next generation of visualization lab and we
have been using Maya for years. The deployment date is about early
2002. The OS will definitely be RH 7.2 and we plan to use Maya4. As
the goal of the lab is not much performance but rather OpenGL
development and in-depth educational topics, after about two months of
research I came down to two options in terms of graphics card for our
new machines: basically ATI Fire GL based product (GL2) and nVidia
Quadro based product (Quadro Pro2)
What is important to us is first and foremost robustness of product
both hardware wise and card's interaction with software (both the OS
and Maya). Also it would be nice to know that vendor regularly update
drivers.
QUESTION:
NOT considering price a deciding factor what do you think in
this case is a prudent choice?
ATI (Fire GL) product or nVidia (Quadro) product?
Thanks,
Farid
