Anyone got a high end nvidia card and gaming in linux? (2008/2009 model)
Are all the latest models supported equally well?
About to spend some time looking into this.
But wondered if anyone had first hand experience.

The newest I have is a PCIe 9800 with a gig of RAM, but technically, even though new, it is the older technology. Had no support problems with the games in Sabayon 4. Most Linux come up with the default monitor resolution and great video. A few I have to add drivers manually, which only improves the response.
I am not into doing games as such, but test them
Best I can do <G><

Geforce 8800 GT.
Works beautifully for gaming. Excellent drivers support.
The only video issues i run into these days are Wine's fault not nvidias

j/k I have played some games like Wolfenstein and America's Army, Quake3 and 4 plus some of the Loki games when I was using a dual PIII 1G + GF3-500-ti set-up and they were completely playable.
