I usually get something has been around for about a year as it will be well supported and any issues discovered should have been fixed. If you find a card you like the look of, carry out a google search to see if there are unresolved issues with it under linux / ubuntu before you buy it just to make sure. There was some discussion recently about some ATI boards not working well, so it is always good to google the make and model of the card. -- John Stevenson jr0cket.com leanagilemachine.com -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
Re: [ubuntu-uk] Graphics cards..
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 In terms of linux support...both ati and nvidia are fully supported now, I believe. But, if you want totally cool open-source 3d drivers for your card then get an ATI, or get an nvidia and wait 6 months (yes, they are coming...). So, in essence, what I am saying is...get either an nvidia or ati. They are almost all supported, and they are all more than powerful enough for compiz. Compiz can run on an intel gma card, so thats nothing to worry about.

[ubuntu-uk] Graphics cards..
Hi there, I currently have an Xpress 200 ATI integrated graphics card and am looking to upgrade to something better (i dual-boot so that i can play Windows games under Windows) What graphics cards would you recommend for both Windows gaming, and full linux support so that i can use compiz without issues? -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
