Do you know the large amount of hacks most games make to render properly on ATI? ATI openGL drivers are, still, worse than NVidia ones, and that's a fact. Even their HLSL support seems bad, seeing how some effects on HalfLife2 had to be redone for ATI. If I'm saying that ATI openGL drivers are flaky is due to good reasons, dozens of bugs I've found over the years and that are still there, not because I'm a NVidia zealot.
