HI
I want to by a new graphics card to replace my current 8500gt. And I need a card with a rather low power consumption, because my Power supply only has a maximum of 350W output (300 continous v1 12= 10w v2 12= 15w). The ATI 4670 just seems to be perfect for this.
So here is my question: How good is the Ati Linux driver right now. Does this card work with linux? dist is Ubuntu 8.10. Or are the nvidia cards still less problematik?
Or is a 9600gt the better choice? But I'm not sure wether a 9600gt is too much for my power supply or not.
The rest of my system is:
AMD6000+X2 @1.33 maximum vcore with cnq
500Gb HD
ASUS M2NPV-VM
Duallayer DVD
2GB DDR2@667
