Well, as many probably know, Gentoo offers a special version of their
distro, the Unreal Tournoment edition, and their website says"nvidia
only".
I really don't know why though, recent ATIs I guess outperform nvidia
cards. Maybe it's just that nvidia nonfree drivers are better than the
free ATI ones, built into XFree86.
Which again, makes me think that maybe it's better for Keith Packard to
fork XFree86 ;-)
