I didn't mean to imply that you do, but there are many who want/need just that. For those, buying a 7850 may well be the best choice, not a waste of money at all.

7850 would seem like an excellent card if you use most of your time in Linux with open source drivers and switch to another OS for occasional gaming. I only need the drivers to support desktop, video...

Getting a bit side tracked I see...

I have no need for HDMI audio, so it should indeed work fine for my purposes. I use an analog sound system and/or a headset. That's certainly a requirement I...

I'm considering upgrading to 6850. Anyone know if it works fine out of the box (open drivers) on Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10? I don't care about 3D, except to the degree that Compiz does.

Or if you know...

I remember testing XOP with gcc 4.5 and gcc 4.5 release notes say that's possible:

Gcc 4.5 already supports FMA4 and XOP, though I'm not sure how well they get used without instrinsics. In any case FMA won't get used without -Ofast/-ffast-math since it changes the results compared...

Current Ubuntu has gone (almost) too far towards supporting only single user machines. Many design choices break with multiple users. For example, the fact that you can only remove indicators by...

Results for Flashcache by itself (or only in comparison to uncached hdd) wouldn't be terribly exciting, but if you add in bcache and/or a hybrid drive I'd like to see it.

Not mockery, a tribute. ;)

The important part of Scott James Remnant's proposal is not the monthly releases, but the process for keeping the development archive always in a working state. If the proposal was modified to have...

So using two somewhat different setups you find that the Nvidia BSD driver is faster than the Nvidia Linux driver?

If you mainly care about best perf./price you should probably choose the 250. OTOH, the other three have about 1/3 the power consumption and more features (video, higher DirectX, OpenGL version). The...

My Chrome/Chromium report from before was wrong: Chrome does display the svg properly, but doesn't allow any interaction. You can see that the files are svg by zooming, but the links don't work in...

With Chrome all the embedded graphs show up as png, but when I right click and select open image in new tab, it works fine as svg.

Browser User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1)...

In quality, maybe. It's kind of subjective, but I'd declare FXAA and MLAA a draw.

In performance Nvidia's FXAA implementation wins AMD's MLAA (on Windows) quite clearly.

Edit: Oh, and I equated...

You can add eqaa == csaa to the list.

Edit: Oh and unless there's another another FXAA, it stands for Fast approXimate AA and == SMAA, pretty much.

Is that supposed to be sarcastic?

From dconf design introduction:



(My bold.)

I think I mentioned this last year, but I really think there should be the option "just works"/no configuration in configuring displays. A good driver shouldn't require any configuration for 90%* of...

Some Knoppix version and then Debian 2.x around 2000-2002.

I'd buy an AMD Radeon 4000 series card or newer (but not the high end 69xx, though that's outside your budget).

If you don't care about Windows/DX11 and power consumption isn't a priority, 4000...
