I've seen Carlos' post and others about choosing AMD over Nvidia. No thank you. AMD burned all bridges with me when it suddenly considered all 1800 (and earlier) cards "legacy" cards and dropped (removed, deleted, destroyed) Linux support for fglrx. That killed it for me.
That's ancient lore. AMD has since "embraced" open source, and you do not need to load proprietary drivers. The default drivers included in the distribution work very well. I have nothing to do, it just works. Even in 3D games. On the other hand, I have an old computer with an old NVidia card which has been dropped support by NVidia, meaning the proprietary driver will not work at all, and Nouveau works "more or less". -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E.
