I'm in the market right now for a new video card and my Linux distro of preference is Fedora. Given that Fedora 13 is coming out in a month and GTX 470 cards should be available by then, I was wondering if I could get your opinions (I'm banking on people on this forum keeping abreast of the state of the latest drivers) on which of the two chipsets (AMD HD 5850 or Nvidia GTX 470) I should go with given the current state of graphics drivers for each now and in the weeks to come.
My main purpose for the video card would be to play 3D games with. Are any of the drivers available up-to-snuff with Xorg 1.8? Am I right in assuming that none of the present crop of native Linux games take advantage of OpenGL 4 (so that won't be a requirement)?
