Linux gaming - nvidia or ati?

[celliott]

For those of you who game on linux or perhaps have tried the steam linux client, do you find nvidia or ati cards better?

I'm having an absolute nightmare with ATI drivers on linux, they are just completely unstable regardless of the version. Most guides seem to refer to nvidia drivers, despite Linus himself commenting recently on how poor the support from nvidia has been

Thanks

Cool that answers it, I have a 7950 at the mo so not an old card!
