> When nVidia got what it wanted from Linux by dominating compute space using CUDA, they've just left visual part of their drivers to rot.

The flip side is that if you want to do GPGPU work (even if it's just local testing) you more-or-less need an nVidia card.

You're right but, I'm deeply interested what AMD can do now or what's in the works.

ATI was left in the dust while the foundation has been forming, unfortunately, but the history is not that straightforward.

TBH, while I appreciate what nVidia is doing, I don't appreciate how did they came to this point.

I have some close friends who're doing game engine and very low level 3D development. His thoughts about nVidia's driver behavior, even under Windows, is worth another rant.
