I'm running an e350 (zotac ad10) as an HTPC running openelec nightly eden builds (xbmc, catalyst 11.10) - It eats through 95% of 1080p .mkvs irrelevant of bitrate, 5% play 'perfectly fine' except all movement on the screen is followed by horrendous macroblocking
I knew it was going to be a rough ride for the platform in linux, and any sensible person would have bought an older, cheaper nvidia ION based device...
I do hope that things improve in the future, before it becomes completely obsolete.
I don't care about game benchmarks, desktop GUI performance or even proprietary/oss drivers (yes, I said it...) - Playing back video is the first thing I'm interested in, ATI are absolutely miles behind in this regard. VDPAU and nvidia binary drivers have worked pretty much flawlessly for as long as I can remember, ATI on linux still remains a disgraceful mess for many users.
