Alright, I have a bit of a problem.

I used to own a Radeon 9600 Pro, and setting it up was a pain, and it never ran any of my games right.

So I went and got myself an nVidia 5700 LE 256MB DDR graphics card.

Works perfectly, set up was a breeze, but I still feel that performance is lacking compared to my old Radeon, though I kept using the nVidia due to lack of good Ati drivers. But now I hear of theis new easier to install Ati drivers, my question now is, will I be able to set the damn thing up, and get it to play my games in Linux with out screwing up, and bett performance?

I play; Doom 3, Half-Life (dx9Wine), Half-Life 2 (Cedega), World Of Warcraft (Cedega), and many other old native Linux games i.e. Quake series, Seriuos Sam, Savage...

My distro is SuSE 9.3 Pro, and I would like to know people's opinion on theis to cards in Linux, and if I should stick with the nVidia card, or throw my Radeon back in.

SuSE 9.3 uses the 2.6.11 kernel

Ive heard bad things about ati and I also heard the new drivers didn't help much. Nvidia is by far the card to have for linux

hope that helps
