Where to discuss this now?
I'm ordering a new desktop, and I need quick info on the best (read "NO PROBLEMS") video card that is decent.
This is the initial install, I'm not replacing another card. I prefer to use open source drivers.
Right now Radeon 6670 with 1GB is on the list. I'm not sure exactly which one. I have a few days to change that to whatever is best if I need to, even a completely different one by any manufacturer.
I need decent graphics, but it doesn't really need to be game level. I may play some low level games, but nothing that requires high level stuff. And if I have to give up some graphics performance to be SURE it will work, that's fine. I won't worry about zapaction games that look a bit fuzzy.
So if this one isn't among the best to be SURE it will work with 10.04 with no tweaking, for mid-level to somewhat better than mid-level graphics, which one is?
I don't have a favorite manufacturer or brand, except what works with NO PROBLEMS.
