Hello, I see a lot of recommendations for Radeon cards on this forum (particularly the 7500 (from Ben) and the 8500). So as I am tired of playing with Nvidia drivers under SuSE, I went down town today to pick one up. Much to my surprise it appears to be impossible to pick up a real " built by " Radeon 7500 (or 8500) video card. All available Radeon cards are " powered by " clones of Radeon card, the most popular brand by far being " PowerColor ". Now I know that there are differences in the BIOS and the memory speed among the various " built by " and " powered by " Radeon video cards. What I don't know these and their other differences affect their use or performance with SuSE. So here is are questions: Can anyone give me a report on using " PowerColor " Radeon 7500 or 8500 or other " powered by " clones with SuSE? Do the XFREE86 drivers work as well for the is " powered by " versions (clone) cards as they do for the " built by " cards? Is the performance comparable? I am asking all these questions - I can always keep using my Nvidia card - and I really don't want any more problems setting up my video configuration with SuSE.
