Sheath: I'm considering buying a new video card, I would like to get peoples opinions on what to buy. jdoe: for what os? mike-burns: I always go with not-nVidia. jdoe: wouldn't do that on linux if you value performance Sheath: Just Windows 7, but I might consider dual booting with Linux at some point. jdoe: but on windows I'd go ATI for sure. Sheath: Yeah, that's been my problem for years. ATI is kinda lacking on Linux drivers. jdoe: it's okay now if you buy old enough
(5xxx) Sheath: I was looking at the 6xxx series as a possible option. jdoe: the open source ones are catching up. mike-burns: http://goo.gl/8lc45 - nVidia did this. jdoe: ... 15 years ago?
hold a grudge much? :P mike-burns: What have they done since? jdoe: well it's still "unmaintainable" since it's a blob, so I imagine you'd still have an issue with that.
I fall more into the "I just want it to work" camp. ***: LT has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
HighJinx has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 244 seconds) mhoran: In the meantime, Intel have released full specs, drivers, and work with the open source community. So I just use integrated graphics.
Might not be the most pretty thing in the world, but at least I don't need no stinkin' blobs. ***: HighJinx has joined #arpnetworks

If I wanted to play a game at some point, I wouldn't. ***: jpalmer has quit IRC (*.net *.split) mhoran: Yup. I don't game, so there's that. :) ***: jpalmer has joined #arpnetworks

dj_goku has joined #arpnetworks jlgaddis: i remember some guy from ati/amd saying years ago at red hat summit about how they were gonna open source everything
still hasn't happened :/ jdoe: seems unlikely.
I doubt they could, even if they wanted to. jlgaddis: http://itknowledgeexchange.techtarget.com/enterprise-linux/amd-will-deliver-open-graphics-drivers/ jdoe: doesn't explicitly say what he said.
iirc they improved cooperation with the open development (the radeon/radeonhd stuff) ... but I doubt they can actually open the drivers, they almost certainly don't own all the IP. jlgaddis: well i was there
he said it :P -: jdoe shrugs. jdoe: I doubt they own the IP. They can probably open the specs on some things, but I'm ~100% sure they can't 'just' opensource the driver. jlgaddis: ati doesn't own the IP to the drivers for their own cards? jdoe: they almost certainly license some of it, yes. jlgaddis: hmm, perhaps. you would think an EVP would know better than to promise something (quite publicly) that they couldn't deliver on, though. ***: webhostbudd has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving.)
