who cares about Catalyst
So ok gamers who play under linux state of the art games like ?hh what was the last doom3? would care about a catalyst driver ok that I can understand I can maybe also understand when somebody heavily uses Wine to play under linux, but that can not be the majority. So anybody else would rather use the stable portable automatic easy installable compatible better opensource driver.
So yes AMD have problems with linux, but thats primary because they dont focus on the free driver. its better for 90% of the users, so why not heavily focus on making it better instead I read something about the crappy Catalyst. If I want somewhat stable gaming-fast linux graphics card I naturaly go for Nvidia, the only point in buying a AMD card for linux is because of the opensource driver.
A company who needs to make money should know their selling points. I very much appreciate the better opensource support vs the non-existent from nvidia, but I really hope that nvidia goes also this path, because that seams the only way (competition) to make you move. Or more realisticly the graphic chips from intel like something like fusion and co gets much faster, so that because of the better driver you get more performance with the intel hardware + better driver than with a amd hardware, and more features.
I mean the I liked zacate and bought it for me and 2 others 4-5 times in notebooks/desktops, but thats only because its fast enough and intel is more expensive.
ok if you always want to and have to underbit intel anyway you get me even with a somewhat good driver, but if you want me to pay the same or even more for a amd produkt vs a intel product nearly the same performance level, you have to become much better.
and please bury this binary blob crap.
