Many thanks.
NVidia do seem to tout their linux support/performance.

I'm thinking about changing my graphics card for one with better games/3D support under linux/suse. What is the best supported card at the moment? (Currently have a Matrox G450 dual head - I'll miss the dual head though)
Thanks
Andrew,
I would look to any of the NVidia line of cards - depending on how much horse power you want to pay for. I do video processing on both Windows and Linux, and have had success with both ATI and GForce (NVidia) cards.
My preference runs to the NVidia as it appears the driver support is better on the Linux side of the fence than is ATI's - YMMV. I don't play games all that much anymore so I can't comment too well on suitability, but I can say from the video work that I do that real time rendering works better IMO using a slightly faster GPU (5900 series or newer) with at least 128MB of DDR RAM.
Hope that helps,
...Paul
