R2xx chips are fairly well supported by the open source dri drivers, so you don't have to use ATI's.petteyg359 said:I run CS and DoD, never tried HL2. If I had a new nVidia card I might, but I'm stuck with a Radeon 9200SE and ATI's lame drivers. I do, however, have it working with full direct rendering, and I get 60FPS on CS.
AFAIK, some of the developers got documentation under NDA, so they aren't "hacked." They also offer fairly decent performance (I don't know how they compare, I haven't used ati's in years).petteyg359 said:Gnufsh: Yes, the open-source hacked drivers for it work great, assuming I don't want to use any 3d acceleration. If I want the 3d, though, I have to use ATI's to get any performance whatsoever.
