ATI sucks, for real! ATI的吸，真正的！
Definitely an nVidia graphic card.肯定是nVidia的显示卡。 Why?为什么？ Because AMD is very frivolous when it comes to support its legacy video cards.由于AMD很无聊当谈到支持其传统的视频卡。 I don't think that a 3 years old video card should be considered obsolete, and dropped being supported.我不认为，一个3岁的视频卡应被视为过时，并放弃了被支持的。 I am an unlucky ATI card user (Radeon x1950 GT) that runs only on 10% of this chipset's performance.我是一个不幸的ATI卡用户（Radeon X1950系列亿吨），只有10本芯片组的性能％运行。 Yes you heard it right!是你没有听错！ Even though there are the open source drivers for video cards that are no longer supported by AMD, these still do not compare with the official fglrx driver.即使有对不再由AMD公司支持的视频卡开源驱动，这些仍比不上官方fglrx驱动。 This driver will not work under Karmic Koala, because it needs a Linux kernel of version 2.6.28, whereas Karmic is built on Linux kernel 2.6.31.此驱动程序将无法在karmic中的考拉，因为它需要一个2.6.28版本的Linux内核，而karmic中在Linux内核2.6.31兴建。 One note: do not try to downgrade your Linux kernel on Karmic in order to use the fglrx driver unless you're a very experienced Linux user.一注意：不要试图贬低你的Linux内核上karmic中，以使用fglrx驱动，除非你是一位非常有经验的Linux用户。 It's just that you have a very high probability to damage your system.只是，你有一个很大的可能性，损害您的系统。
Why nVidia then? Nvidia为什么呢？ Because the developers from nVidia do really care of their products and their clients and you will find much better driver support from them than from ATI AMD.因为从nVidia的开发者真正关心他们的产品和他们的客户，你会发现很多比他们更好的ATI AMD的驱动程序支持。 Unless you are planning to buy the latest super-puper model video card model from ATI, do consider getting an nVidia one.除非你打算购买最新的超级普佩尔模型来自ATI的视频卡的模式，不考虑把nVidia的一个。 You'll save time and some nerves (but not money, AFAIK).您可以节省时间和一些神经细胞（而不是金钱，AFAIK）。
Still wanna get an ATI card?仍然希望得到一个ATI卡？ Here are some heart-breaking stats from glxgears with my system (Radeon x1950 GT, AMD x2 5200+ Dual Core 2.6GHz, 4GB Ram @ 667MHz):这里有一些令人心碎从我的系统（Radeon X1950系列燃气轮机glxgears的统计资料，AMD的X2 5200 +的双核2.6GHz的，4GB的内存@ 667）：
dragos@dragos-desktop:~$ glxgears @德拉戈什德拉戈什桌面：〜$ glxgears
Running synchronized to the vertical refresh. The framerate should be运行同步垂直刷新。应的帧率
approximately the same as the monitor refresh rate.大致相同的显示器刷新率。
15676 frames in 5.0 seconds 15676在5.0秒帧
16040 frames in 5.0 seconds 16040在5.0秒帧
15946 frames in 5.0 seconds 15946在5.0秒帧
15940 frames in 5.0 seconds 15940在5.0秒帧
3000FPS from glxgears with such great specs?从这样大规格glxgears 3000FPS？ That is shi*ty performance if you ask me.这是市*青衣的性能，如果你问我。 On Intrepid Ibex (when fglrx was still supported) I was getting 120K+ FPS..在无畏北山羊（当时的fglrx仍然支持）我正在12万+医科.. And yes, for Linux gamers, Nexuiz is slow at times and crashes when playing with an ATI card in combination with the open-source drivers.是的，为Linux玩家，Nexuiz是缓慢的，有时和崩溃时，能结合的ATI与开源驱动出牌。
