I'm fairly happy with my 4200 igp with the open drivers, as I don't game much, and was willing to wait for the r700 drivers to mature before looking for a new card to drop in, but I've come across an offer for an x1950 xtx for a very reasonable sum, so...
Would it be worth it, or would I be better off waiting?
How good is the r300g driver currently with games, particularly under wine?
I've seen suggestions that wine really needs opengl 3 compatible drivers to work at it's best, is this accurate?
Is it at least possible that wine under the r300g driver would be less "flaky" than under fglrx, even if there is a performance hit?
I'm quite happy to pull in various components from git and what not, I'm just hoping to hear some experiences from others wrt gaming under r300g, particularly with wine.
