This should have what you're looking for (you will probably have to pick "Linux" for this, but it's essentially the hub for the drivers).

Too bad the drivers still suck compared to Nvidia

@Tea.Rollins Too bad NVIDA cards suck compared to ATI. The 480 and 470 are underwhelming at best. All those extra delays and very little to show for it. How am I supposed to wait for ATI prices to drop if there isn't any real competition? I will agree on the drivers though. Nvidia wins that one by a large margin.

I didn't find any Linux drivers there, Novell or otherwise.
