Well. In deference to Mads, I have an nVidia GForce3 ti-200, costs me about $150 U.S. I have had to install the lastest drivers from nVidia from source (simple really, just un=tar.gz, and then run make = if you need pointers on setting up XF86Config file, skip yast and hand edit the file - much easier and I will help you with the particular options to optimize the card). I don't know your experience level (I'm just above a newb myself in some respects) but I have setup and optimize many games in Linux and have gotten my nVidia drivers to give me about 40 to 60 fps in tribes2 with all features on.

I think it's time to get a new machine. SuSE 8.0 comes with exciting 3D games :-)
But what is the "best buy" for a graphics card? My hardware friends tell me about
ATI Radeon. Should be powerful compared to the price GForce 2. Not as good as Gforce 3, but cheaper GForce 3. Very fast but expensive GForce 4. ???
But of course performance depends a lot on the driver, so - what is the best card for Linux use in order of price/performance?
