You make a good point about the use of AMD over Nvidia. We did a bit of market research ahead of coming up with our spec. for the Ninja and the overwhelming majority of people we asked said they'd still use a dual-boot setup with any Linux gaming PC. So we've (perhaps shamefully) factored in performance under Windows when going with the HD7850. As more games come to Steam for Linux and the dual-booting falls away we'll definitely review this if AMD haven't made improvements to their drivers.

It seems you were correct with your market research. AMD is making massive strides with regard to its FOSS graphics drivers.
