I'm trying to avoid NVidia and Intel CPUs Carlos, why the Nvidia avoidance? I've been trying to avoid the others for decades. I always thought that Nvidia had better Linux support, and we actually have some users taking advantage of Nvidia GPU's for data processing and presentation. My current Nvidia card is no longer supported by Nvidia proprietary driver, I have to use legacy. And the legacy driver misses some thing (I don't remember the name, but I can find out, there is a bugzilla on it)

Another.
Do you what is optimus hardware? A nice idea. Laptops with this can use the low power battery loving Intel video, but when the application needs more power it switches automatically to the Nvidia chip. Nice, right? Well, it is a pain in the ass (ask Daniel). Well, after so many years, they have now created the support for it in the NVidia proprietary driver. but only applied to particular laptops, not all and now there is support. for many years one had to pay particular attention to components to assure

Not very Linux loving, are they? so they step up and supply something needed and get chastised for it? that's not your brain talking, Carlso. But it is. Ask Linus Torvalds. you need to examine facts rather than biased feelings and rantings. I might as well ask my wife (and she has absolutely no idea what the game of

Just my $0.02 worth.
Ever since about Windows 95 I've used nothing but AMD, and related. Has always worked well.
and in the end what works for your environment and what you understand is the best for you. my requirements early on virtually dictated nvidia and now not so much so, but I am comfortable with nvidia and have had virtually no problems. but making summary judgements is not helping anyone. I don't happen to have any amd video cards installed atm but have in the past and still find nvidia provides the best working environment for my photo processing. past that, I have no pressing video requirements that would not be satisfied by most any card. happy you are happy. -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri Photos: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/piwigo paka @ IRCnet freenode -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
