here is the low down with ati vs. nvidia in linux
ati doesnt care about linux, there drivers horrible.
in the time before last release drivers, a geforce 5700 would beat a 9800 by a sizable margin.
nvidias drivers are much better and perfom much better. the new ati drivers improve the situation, but, it is still crappy compared to nvidia.

better either to have a nVidia or an ATI graphic card.
If you were think of getting a less expensive card, the ATI 9200 will
work
with free drivers. There is a project to have free drivers for later ATI cards, but you should go looking for the current status of that project to make sure it is far enough along for you before committing to using a ATI model.
I have found the Nvidia 3D drivers easier to install
