Are there other, better supported (including computation and 3d acceleration, etc.) video cards, I could consider in the future?
Well you could start again and again the discussion about using amd or nvidia, i personally have made the decision after opensuse 10.2? to throw away 2 nvidia cards and using amd and the open source drivers on tumbleweed. (one i throw really away, the other, i was able to bring back to the computer shop and changed it) - yes in that days people where going to small shops and buy computers direct there. :-))
amd it might be not 100% as fast as nvidia, but i have had only one problem i remember since then:
in this year, with one of the gaming computers, i remember not completely, it was a pretty new, high end amd model, opensuse was booting after update and also going into graphical desktop, but was only displaying half of the screen. going back (with yast2 in graphical mode (on the left side of the screen) to one "amd-firmware" before, waiting about 3 to 4 weeks for the correction of the firmware for tumbleweed solved the problem.
this is the only video card issue i remember since throwing nvidia away.
i do not know how the opensource drivers of nvidia nowadays will lead into a better solution than the proprietary drivers, or what the difference (for a user) is.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I think I used AMD graphics (or was it intel?) on some laptops without bigger issues, but never used them for gaming. On the desktop computers I occasionly try video games. And almost no trouble if the nvidia drivers were working. Regards Paul
