On the leisure side, I'd like to still be able to play a few good fps titles (which I can already do on a much cheaper card, just not in as meaningful a way as I'd like :D ) and will be buying doom 3 soon.
My personal exp. has led me to think of nvidia as the only grown-up option.
Am I wrong yet?
I don't know tbh, but when Doom III was originally released for Linux it didn't work very well with ATI cards using their non-free driver, Nvidia was most certainly the way to go then. Of course ATI promised that they would release a driver update that would address most of the problems with Doom III on their hardware. I think I would be asking google to find peoples real world experiences, but at the same time I would be thinking of going with Nvidia if you mainly want the card for playing non-free 3D games with Linux.
