From what I have seen and read both here and elsewhere, NVidia graphics
cards have caused a lot of headaches with Linux in the past. However it
seems that things are improving.
So I am wondering, if these cards are still a bit of a problem with
Linux why do people bother with them? I am assuming that they must have
some advantages over bog standard Intel built in graphics. Or is it
just people who play a lot of games on their computer who need them andI
so put up with the problems?
I do have a reason for asking, so any info would be useful,
Thanks
Neil
I've had a few problems with lower level (older processors on
motherboards) but things seem to be improving.
Nvidia are fun for certain things like GPU processing - an example would
be CUSPICE which uses Nvidious cards to speed up processing of very
heavily math dependant electronic circuit simulation but using the CUDA
libraries developed by Nvidia.
