The scale is shifting towards AMD this year. They are now performing better in the latest DX11 games because of superior GPGPU performance.

And I'm not talking silly stuff like "TressFX" hair in Tomb Raider, but rather good stuff like DX11 global illumination, which uses DirectCompute.

If Nvidia really has a better closedsource driver for Linux than AMD, it doesn't really mean their product is any better than AMD's. Linux is on the desktop computer only a niche plattform after all.
But I agree that AMD's product isn't better either, only because it is much better with OpenCL performance.

S3 aka suspend to ram works
gaming works
opencl is fast.
What else do you want?
Oh yes, one company supports opensource development
One company hinders opensource development
Pretty much a nobrainer that AMD is the card one should buy.

I'm waiting on Catalyst 13.7 to see if there is an improvement.
