Does this mean that AMD have not released 3d parts of the drivers? Do they plan to release the 3d parts? > There are problem threads on nvnews.

Well, I've search a little bit, and found that Ati firegl 5600 beats Quadro fx 1700 in every way. according to this: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/graphics-cards/specapc-3ds-max-9-graphics,117.html Although all tests have been run on windows. It seems that Ati have better hardware and it is also going to be more open source friendly in near future. I'm planning to use this workstation for 3 or 4 years or even more. So I'm thinking to risk a little and bet on AMD , and hope that they deserve my hard earned money. but I'm not sure yet. I need to do a little more search about AMD plans, and current development status of ATI driver. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
