ATI vs. NVIDIA: The Next Generation

    Doesn't this violate the GPL?

    Let's just hope the performance of these cards excels the performance of the reviewer's webserver.

    The moderators must have switched their brand of crack this afternoon. Someone actually wasted mod points on an AC!

    I assume you're referring to some trailer on the Apple site which /. linked directly to, which they promptly stopped direct linkage. Yea, you really fucked them up good.

    Well, I'd assume that better designed hardware can make driver writting a hell of a lot easier. And great drivers can make up for poorly designed hardware. Either way, I've been very happy with all 3 of my nvidia cards under linux, 2k and xp.
