If money is (virtually) no object and high-end 3D animation is part of your game, you'll want to check out The Tech Report's review of the ATI X1800 CrossFire card before spending your green on the green team. From the review: 'This new CrossFire card also sweeps away some of the limitations of the first-generation CrossFire hardware introduced just a couple of months ago, allowing mega-high-res gaming.' Further, if the latest rumors about the 7800GTX 512MB are true, it would mean that this CrossFire graphics subsystem would arguably stand alone at the top of the graphics benchmarking mountain."

Drop the nternet myths by mkavanagh2 · 2005-12-12 07:54 · Score: 1, Troll

ATi works with linux great. There's an internet myth that "If you use Linux, you must use nVidia", and it's nonsense. Just like the "Azureus is useless because it's Java" myth. Or the "Redhat is the best distro for nubs" myth, but thankfully I think that one's finally evaporating.

As someone with a Radeon 9600 XT who plays UT 2004 on Linux at 60% the speed he does on Windows, I think you are.
