geez, at least!
I know you can do it nvidia.
It would counterproductive if they would not do it. Since everybody everybody says that they would jump in to the AMD boat if no movement comes from Nvidia
I completely agree with this letter, and will probably buy competitors hardware if nothing happens.
yes
i'd like to use nvidia hardware on powepc machnes, such as playstation3.
I'm all for it :).
Open the Driver pls
I prefer Nvidia to ATI, but when open source drivers of ATI where finished I will prefer ATI.
I never thought I'd say this, but I'm actually jealous of ATI card owners!
Gogo, NVIDIA!
Great hardware needs great software, let the community take care of it and free up some resources
No more NVIDIA for me unless this changes.
KDE4 is killing me, qt4.4 the same please i don't want to sell my card
NVIDIA, wake up!
Please of Please NVidia, Open Up a little bit. That would encourage me to buy more NVidia products in future and to recommend them to other people.
My graphics cards through the years: Riva TNT, GeForce 2mx, Geforce TI4200, GeForce 6600GT, GeForce 8800GTS. Is my next card going to be ATi?
Built my last comp in 03, it's time to build a new one. I'm all about linux now an get the stuff the community says works best.
I support this notion. As it stands I wouldn't buy NVIDIA even if their product was superior because of AMD's commitment to release the specifications of its GPUs. Free software benefits the community!
To be honest, as a consumer it will take more than your regular half empty offerings for me to consider NVIDIA products in the future. I use Ubuntu and prefer to have the visual effects turned on. On my 4 year old laptop with an ATI card, they run like a dream. On my 1 year old Desktop with an NVIDIA card, I can't have visual effects and and audio on at the same time as the former fucks up the latter. Thats kind of shameful.
I currentyl use ATI but am looking to upgrade and at the moment even though your drivers are better for the linux platform I fear you may be overtaken by ATI if you do not take a more open approach. If you do, my next card will deifintely be from you. ;0)
None
Please open up!
Please ;)
hooray for open source! =)
No comment, just do it!
I'm waiting to buy a graphic card to end of year, The one with the best opensource support is the one im going to buy.
Why on earth Nvidia folks need to secret their code? They must give it away for free anyway, it'll cost a lot less to help nouveau project with their own techs
Long live linux
Un petit effort sinon ma prochaine carte graphique sera une INTEL ou une AMD/ATI
Hope this will be successful... Best regards from Slovakia.
Open the source. It is your destiny....
As a leader on the graphic market, NVidia should demonstrate that they can provide the best hardware and software solutions for linux users
Hope this works
I have been using NVIDIA cards since you guys brought out the RIVA 128 card. I would really like Open drivers for your wonderful GPU sets, make the OSS community happy
I buy only NVIDIA graphic cards for years (about 10 of them for myself) and advise friends to bought them because of their 3D driver available on Linux and ATI's one were very bad. Now things have changed, and the next generation graphic card I'll buy will probably be an ATI... Except maybe if Nvidia releases their own specification to the open source community ;)
never had a nvida card, but really hope that nvidia would follow the intel's way
Agreed, Nvidia can only benefit from making the code open source (that isn't patented & other issues), as they will then benefit from hundreds of developers who can look it over & provide fixes or improvements.
Please free them! FOSS for all!
bought a total of 4 nvidia cards in the last 4 years because of fairly good linux drivers. I am going Intel now and might consider ATI when their open driver is decent enough
I will have to switch to the AMD Camp if NIVIDIA doesn't open source their drivers. I've been purchasing NVIDIA hardware for over 10 years now.
Hell yeah for AMD, give it to them NVIDIA!
yay, open the blob!
I like nvidia hardware. so help open source.
I support it
I love nvidia closed source drivers but I'd rather appreciate open source driver :)
C'Mon NVidia! Intel has done it. AMD has done it. You can do it too. You MUST do it too!
Currently have an Nvidia card, but I'm afraid at the moment it looks like my next card will be ATI. If Nvidia should match ATIs gesture towards the community I would happily buy Nvidia again.
just open it!
Bring 'Em On!
Please :)
