In my experience, it's the opposite. 5-6 years ago, ATI was the friendly one and nvidia gave you hell trying to get it to work. Now it's flipped - the ATI cards I've tried just plain don't work, whereas the nvidia ones will work, and with a few choice harsh words, will work well. Just my anecdata, though, and this is with desktop cards, not laptops (I use thinkpads with intel graphics...)
- simoncion 11y agoAre the ATI cards you've been using the absolute newest ones, or a couple of generations back? Also, are you using the closed-source or the open-source ATI drivers? And, are you using Ubuntu, or are you using some other distro? (My experience with non-LTS Ubuntu has been... substantially less than stellar over the past several years.)
