The future of integrated graphics processors lies somewhere on the dies of future processors, that much is a certainty. However, this creates a big problem for NVIDIA, whose chipset business will be out, of well, business. Beating everybody to the punch, the company announced yesterday that it is ceasing all development on future chipsets, citing unfair business practices from Intel.

That's kind of my point, the best performing driver happens to be the closed blob from the hardware vendor in this case. The ideal would be open specs and a FOSS driver that could be ported to any platform. At this time though, there isn't a better pick for performance and driver support than Nvidia is there? AMD is not there yet and Intel isn't even in the same game.

hahahahahhahahaha
the nv driver is a pile of crap. Further, it is completely obfuscated so as to prevent other people from picking up the code and improving on it. The nouveau devs are a brave lot to even try to understand it.
