Pretty much the same story with nVidia.
Prior to the release of the 9800Pro's ATI's driver support was pretty so-so, but I cannot fault them for anything they've done with the video card drivers in the last 24 months. They've really picked their game up on this score.

true for the Windows side, but on Linux we have a different story with Nvidia drivers getting worse, they are still light years ahead of ATI drivers
My opinions are based on performance of our 3D Engineering application, which won Desktop Engineering (
