As someone who is more interested in stability than performance, my next hardware is not going to be nVidia.
I prefer the open source drivers - and Intel/AMD are making a killing with this regard.
In fact, there is no need to compromise. With Intel and AMD I get good performance as well while using the open source drivers.

Originally posted by blackout23 View PostI simply don't understand why AMD can't deliver closed drivers that are almost as good as the Windows ones. What's so hard? What does NVIDIA do differently?
But he latest opengl 4.3 beta driver gave me hudge performance boost in Serious Sam 3.
( and solved all graphical issues )
Before this drivers I had to lower the resolution, in this game.
I did not run any benchmarks, so I cant tell how close they come to directX on windows, but because the difference is so big, I do not need a benchmark to tell its a big step forward.
No performance boost on Left For Dead 2 though.
So at the moment I think nvidia still to be the better choice, but at least amd seems to catch up.
