Re:The Truth on OpenGL Driver Quality

What's horrible is I've done almost zero OpenGL dev and I could pick these out immediately based on anecdotal experiences with drivers on Windows. Vendor B might be getting better (supposedly), but I still have a tendency to shy away from their drivers (thus, them) due to past experiences.

Well let me put it like this. I bought a Radeon 9600 back in 2003 when ATi still existed as an independent company. In the time since then, I haven't seen enough improvement to justify buying anything other than nVidia.
To be fair, they are better - I haven't heard them lately crashing the kernel so hard the alt-sysrq combos don't work.
