These last two generations of GPUs, I've gone Nvidia, after being sick and tired of fighting AMD graphics drivers, and especially fglrx.

I'm glad they're increasingly open, and it's good to see the excellent work happening in the radeon drivers et al. I've just been burned enough by them that my aversion has become quite deep seated. That and so many things favour CUDA instead of OpenCL for acceleration, which is incredibly annoying (especially as it's possible to leverage even inbuilt Intel GFX for that in addition to the main GFX card)

Exactly! They made exactly the same claims about increasing the openness of their driver in the past, but never made good on their promise.

You can only believe the same promises up to a point.
