For me, the strongest case for AMD/ATI hardware is availability of relatively stable FOSS drivers. I have been using the radeon drivers for a little over 2 years now with my ATI HD4870 and have had almost no issues. Although I don't use a lot of 3D, I do play some games from time to time (e.g. Nexuiz, Humble Indie Bundle games). I would rather support a manufacturer who makes some effort (some might argue minimal, but an effort nonetheless) to support FOSS drivers. Just my 2¢. -- Suvayu Open source is the future.
