Alright guys i'm fed up with amd's buggers on linux. About to pull the trigger on pic related.
What's the current status of nvidia, both nouveau and proprietary?
nouvaeu is a bag of dick, just use the properietary ones

Modern hardware from both compaies works fine under linux.
Legacy support for nvidia is shite but exists.
Legacy support for ATI is a roll of the dice.

Got a hd 6750 at the moment.
Stuck with the proprietary drivers unless i submit to 100% fanspeed shenanigans and max power consumption (no, battery profile doesn't do anything).
If nvidia has the power-management and fanspeed under control, that would be neat.

6870 here.
Works just fine.
U got your driver from AMD site?
What distro?
>>53660467
Second 6870 owner here, no problems.
>confirmed
>>53660467
Debian jessie because it's the only distro that somewhat works with the fglrx drivers.
>>53660615
Try using ones from ubuntu repositories.
I did that on debian once for a thinkpad.
