As far as I know the fastest 3D card with open drivers is the Radeon

there was no 3D hardware available with open drivers but that's not the
case.
Given that I'm considering building a new machine, can you point to
references please? I wasn't aware any 3D GFX manufacturer had released
any significant specs/code...
