Radeon r600 does NOT suck
Sucks? I don't think so! I don't play paid games, a hell of a lot of users of open drivers don't play paid games, many don't use them for games at all and run them on the smallest cards. The r600 driver gives excellent power management, video playback in hardware, and enough OpenGL chops to run the heaviest of DE's on the tiniest of cards without ever a problem traceable to the graphics stack. Not only that, on the radeon HD6750 AND on the smaller HD5570 it can play any of the FOSS games I have: 0ad, Scorched3d(the most GPU demanding one) and all my 2d arcade style games that were nonetheless written in OpenGL for some reason. R600 does everything I ask it to do, I see no reason to run a closed driver or switch to Nvidia other than for Nouveau testing.
