Nice cards, but the drivers for linux are still far from ideal.

Don't know what you're talking about. Granted they still have a few bugs in there, but the driver is stable for the most part and performs really well. Just look at those AA scores. The problem with the apparently "low" performance for these new cards, as Bridgman over at Phoronix said, is that the drivers are handicapped on most Linux games; as you can see from the scores using 8xAA, cranking up the post-processing effects gives off better performance, but since most Linux games lack some of the more intense effects (and many of the effects not being implemented on openGL driver side), the cards aren't fully utilized.
