market that I know of can do that on Linux with any degree of
smoothness. I'd love it if ATI or someone else would develop an
accelerated graphics driver for Linux (open source would be wonderful)
but, as they say, "wish in one hand and defecate in the other and see
which one fills up first".
The current ATI cards are fine (a friend of mine teaches games
programming), but my experience is that NVIDIA drivers are the easiest to
install and the most stable, especially the current release.
This is unfortunate, as I dont like using closed source drivers more than
anyone else does.
