Pic's out of date, from a couple of years ago. ATI (now a subsection of AMD or sth like that) have in fact released substantial register-level specs for some of their video cards.

Freedom?
I just don't buy them because they'll boast a feature on the box and not support it, cheat on benchmarks, have drivers from hell, ugly renders, and frequent compatibility issues with games.

Don't think ATI or nVidia is really in it for your "freedom."

RMS's view of freedom is about the liberty to control one's system and the liberty to cooperate in a community. When this image was relevant, neither the driver source code or the technical hardware specifications were available to the public. Without these crucial publications, the users of these are stuck to only one vendor to control their hardware - Ati. If the users had these publications, then the user can help themselves.

RMS's view of freedom is that freedom is a thing you enforce.
