Sure, just let me put that fully operational graphic card that can run games fine in the trashcan, shell out another thousand dollar or so on a new card for absolutely no other reason than to appease the internet crowd. It's so easy, why isn't everyone doing it.

    I'd like to believe they mean on the next GPU you get, but not everyone can just upgrade their card. But if you can, dump Nvidia in the daily driver asap, as long as it's reasonable to do so.

    Also, side tangent, but remember when the whole computer cost a grand? I miss those days.

    Okay, I won't buy Nvidia anymore. What should I buy for the best compatibility with Linux?

    I remember choosing Nvidia specifically because it used to be better than ATi on Linux. Is the situation reversed now?

    Yes, it would be easier if graphics cards couls be sold but alas...

    Yes, sell the card for a fraction of the value, and buy a new one at full price. After that, we can tell the person that bought it, it's their fault for buying a nvidia card.
