Is that really a Fedora question...or are you just asking "Which is better,
nVidia or ATI?".  Even though it is OT, it doesn't help that you've not
named the GPU on each of the boards.  So, really don't know what you expect.

OK, I know....  I've used nVidia products for years and am very happy with
them.  So, yes, it is a limitation of ATI.
