Re: ATI Linux Catalyst drivers

said by El Quintron:

How would you rate Catalyst versus the priprietary Nvidia driver?

I couldn't say. I got a new PC 15 months ago and that switched me from nVidia to ATI. So, I haven't used nVidia since June, '11.

Was it the best card at the time, or were you planning on ditching nvidia for a while?

Good question. They were offering a free upgrade to a more powerful ATI card in my new PC. Plus, I had been hearing a lot about how nVidia was trying to catch up with ATI in performance, so I decided to try it. The card is an HD6770 with a gig of memory.

Cool, how long ago did you get it? and did you always run Linux on it?

I've had it about 16 months. Yes, always on Linux.
