Which one should I get? Radeon HD 6770 or Geforce GTX 550 Ti ?

I've been told over the years that Nvidia has better support for Linux. But how are the (official) Linux drivers for both cards ? Right now I have a choice between Palit GTX 550 Ti and MSI HD 6770 for about the same amount of money.

While Palit offers 2 a year warranty, and MSI offers 3, I tend to go with the Radeon because I already have an onboard Geforce 7025 (for "just in case") and the official drivers are ok.

Any advice would be most welcome.

DSpider, this has been discussed a lot. Have you searched the forums? Nobody is going to be able to give you advice on exact specific models as they themselves would have had to compare them to know what works.

To get a general idea, search the forums and you will find multiple threads trying to figure out whether they should buy an ATI card or a NVidia.
