Subject: [gentoo-user]  7800 GTX: opensource driver stable?
Date: Thu, 16 Nov 2006 18:45:26 +0000 (UTC)	[thread overview]

Hello,

I'm looking at this NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX for a gentoo based
gaming system. Anyone have any experience with this card (or
a similar card) and any of the open source drivers?


Maybe just use the nvidia drivers?

I've googled my fingers off, but, I'm more confused about
which card to purchase than before.
I'm not very experienced with Graphics Accellerations issue under
Linux/X so any help or comments are most appreciated.


I did find this excellent resource for bencharks and stabiltiy of
 all sorts of video cards:

I'm not looking for the latest video card, just one with good performance
and open source drivers.


James
