I'm not a video card fanboy by any means. However, I've found throughout the years that when I am using a Linux machine, the ATI cards are very hit or miss...but the Nvidia cards have always been easier to get up and running. For this reason, I typically only consider Nvidia cards for my computer....regardless of whether I plan to use Linux on the machine.
However, as of late, the performance of the 5750 cards for the price is untouched by Nvidia. And I'm very drawn to the lower power and low noise output of these video cards. So, if I were to upgrade my 9800GTX+ right now, it would be the 5750.
With my current eVGA 9800GTX+, I had a problem with a recent Nvidia driver where my box would spin up the video fan when necessary but would not slow it back down at all. This is the first real issue I have had with Nvidia in awhile...and an earlier version didn't have this problem and was fixed in later versions.
