[gonzo6111]

I have ati cards but those drivers I just couldn't get them to work at all one time they did for one day and then no luck.Now i just put and old mx 400 pci card omg i'm going backwards and the drivers install just fine I had to learn how to install it but i was able to.I need a card to replace my 9600 ati card.I play doom3 / halflife 2 / everquest 2 as well.What card can play those games and not cost me 400 buck and must work on linux with the drivers that are offer plz I don't need a nightmare again.

Get whatever nvidia card falls into your bugget.
150$ 6600
200$ 6600GT
300$ 6800
400$ 6800GT
500$ 6800Ultra

I own a 6600GT, works perfectly although admitedly I only have experience of playing WoW and Pirates through Cedega.

What's the difference 6600 and the gt model.I'm gaming on my window box with a 9800 ati card.Now the card is o/c and runs on a amd64 which is a nice combo for what i'v tested.I'm new to linux until a find out how to make it all work on a backup pc I'm not going to touch my main gaming machine.As for cedega I'v join it to download it just have not gotten to that point but post i see sure don't look that good to install and run.

A 6600GT would probably beat your R9800 most of the time (well, in linux it would be a severe beating most likely).. To me this card is the sweet spot for price/performance. Of course if you can afford the pricier cards, more power to you!

Yup, I've got a 6600GT (Galaxy, as seen on the site adverts) AGP. The difference is clock speed between this and a 6600. But it is enough for me to get 55FPS on Doom 3@1280x1024 which is good enough for me!

Thx for the advice and real world performance.Price i can work with I just don't want to buy a another card and find out it don't work on linux is there and issue with that at all.Plz newbie here is installing or updating the drivers hard or will the drivers I have install pick it up and make the adjustment.
