I own a geforce 4000mx
it has done me good and despite me hitting it a few times it still works sometimes lol j/k
really it is pretty good for me but of course i dont play a ton of games so it runs good on my one and only game of halo
also if u are a directx9 programmer than dont buy it though go up higher to something that has that special thing for dx9 and supports shaders and all that good junk
Heh, I traded a GeForce4 MX 440SE (AGP 4x and 64 MB RAM) for a ATI Radeon 9200SE (AGP 8x, 128 MB RAM, and DVI, TV, VGA out). I've heard that the GeForce was a better card, but I really don't care, since the most intensive game I play is Enemy Territory.
I believe Carmack talked about that, and it's not specific to ATI's drivers, but rather some GPUs and how they do things. For the record, neither my X800 XT or my Radeon 8500 did that.
*shrug* I've seen it on a 7000 and heard of it on 9000 series. Maybe it's the way the card is built along with the GPU.
Wow, this is way suprising, but for 2 whole pages this thread has stayed on-topic! A new WinBoards record I think, except maybe the Linux fighting thread.

Sure, ATI has always had slightly better D3D performance, but their drivers, especially Linux and OpenGL, have a very bad history of sucking ass.
