It always depends on the apps/games/distro you run if you can live with amd gfx cards or not.
At the moment nvidia is the better choice. Until amd fixes their openGL drivers.
I have a HD5750 with 1 gig ram, and every game runs better with Directx.
I have to admit that Valve is doing a great job.
HL2 runs really great on Linux.
Serious sam 3 has issues, with the amd catalyst.
LFD2 runs for now better on windows, but on the steam for Linux forums nvidia users are reporting it to run better on Linux..

Make the change for NVIDIA you wont regret! A lot of games have issues with AMD I can tell you that brutal legends is one of them, serious sam 3 is another, overall nvidia is a better choice at this moment. I just changed teams and bought a GTX660 and in some benchmarks it beats the HD7950 which is a beast of a card in windows.
