Is any ALUGger successfully using ATI radeon cards with real 3d acceleration these days?
I recall it being a fruitless exercise in the past, but now isn't the past and I wonder if anyone's having any real success with this now.
Buying a graphics card on an almost Dickensian budget, whilst wanting it to be an actual upgrade, I'm considering a low-end Radeon 9600 for 35 quid (after missing out on an nvidia Geforce 6600 for 50).
I'm not convinced of the card's brilliance, but I'm more wondering whether Radeons in general are usable + good yet - it would widen the breadth of choice a little :)
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?
