Not really, I'm back and staying with nVidia with my new desktop unless they manage to forget how to write drivers. I've lived in catalyst hell for the last 3y with ATI and now the GPU is...

Seconded. MSI GT725 with three years of catalyst hell(mobility radeon 4850/512MB).

Got an eVGA GTX 670 FTW for my new desktop for $400 in June, performance is right up there with the GTX 680, and...

THIS is why when building my desktop this summer I went with an eVGA GTX670 FTW. No more ultracraptastic linux(and windows although not quite as awful as linux) drivers. Never AMD/ATI again, esp....

Easy:
nVidia knows how to write decent drivers, while ATI fails miserably at driver implementations. ATI's linux/X drivers are particularly bad, while their Windows drivers are mostly acceptable.
...

You'd think so, but don't worry the .deb packages don't do this either... You'd think that by now they'd embed a version string in the drivers and just have CCC read it from there...

Hey! Someone...

hmmmppph side not before going to bed, on a whim even with the OSS driver (10.4) or the prop 10.6 cat driver the LCD brightness feedback dialog thingy does not correctly reflect in a linear fashion...

meh, more comments in the morning... 10.4 seems to be behaving poorly, beyond it's horrid color schema and poor choice of default(useless) apps..

anyways, I need at least 6h of sleep which I...

DKMS was one dep that I missed, part of the driver is now building again... it also originally downloaded a crapload of deps all by itself when run the first time after a fresh install, but that...

nm this board has crap reqs

Well, since we're faggotly prevented from editing messages, I'll waste my time once more looking ENTIRELY unclear 32b deps for AMD crap(hopefully for the last time, as I've better things to do with...

OSS driver 2d perf. makes crapalyst look like, well, the crap that it is. Unfortunately I need more recent OpenGL support and kind of like better than COMPLETE crap power management(v. semi-crap, at...

build script for Ubuntu 9.10 works again.

They stuffed back in their privilege escalation script such that CCC can be run to make changes OOB. (Just copy the menu item, and stick a gksudo in...

yeah, yeah, I'm a week late, but bridgman, for a LONG time I was FORCED to use Mobility Modder.net and just used the plain old catalyst package.

Now with sort-of-generic drivers I get a little...

Hell! I don't know how much they pay bridgman but how he can sit around and spout crap like workstation blah blah is great, I don't know since there isn't a while helluvalot of difference between...

Since I can't edit, AMD's drivers are such a POS that there is no way in hell that I'l ever touch one of their products ever again! Oh wait, you can try XYZ workaround or use their half-assed OSS...

Hey fanboi! nVidia drivers actually fucking work while AMD's are an amateur nightmare and closed source. Thier OSS drivers are half-baked and nothing more than a political ploy for the OSS zealots...

no amateur hour with nVidia or Intel.. but then I guess that you get what you pay for...

It's highly amusing how these threads bring out the AMD fanbois while nVidia has no need for this sort of thing, as they understand R&D, design, and quality drivers unlike crapMD

It's a feature of ATI drivers...

AND you have to disable ANY form of desktop compositing.. unlike with nVidia drivers...

strictly amateur hour here...
