I'm not a heavy gamer, and I'm not a professional graphics artist. I
have a friend running an ATI that is slightly less good than my 8600 GT
quality wise, but it ran out of the box perfectly, no questions asked.
The only problem I've run into was a little bit of tearing.

What did I get with NVidia? In addition to MUCH more tearing and
sluggishness, I got a broken suspend for about a half a year while the
drivers were being neglected, and lots of other people got crashing
systems. Just look on the nvnews forums for the over one-year old thread
about the drivers bringing instability.

If I don't get the full power and potential of the card, I don't care.
Like you said, I just want it to work. And the drivers for ATI have
shown me that they seem to be going in a good direction. Just like
DarthTibault said, I don't care about getting native speed right now, I
just want my damn hardware to _work_.
