NVIDIA Graphics: Linux v. Solaris
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 7 had outperformed both SXDE Build 64 and SXCE Build 66 in a number
| of the different tests, but the results as a whole were genuinely similar.
| While NVIDIA hardware is the leading option for Solaris x86/x64 users due
| to the lack of official drivers from ATI/AMD, the driver that NVIDIA
| provides to its Solaris customers is great quality. The Solaris driver
| code is very similar to the Linux, Windows, and FreeBSD drivers with
| the exception of the OS-specific bits, and this advantage is definitely
| able to shine through when talking about the performance benefits
| for alternative operating systems.
