OpenGL usually is the better choice.

OpenGL, as long as you dont have any problems with that mode...

Also there are two cvars in the config.cfg, which do some fixes for ATI cards...

ati_npatch "1.0"
ati_subdiv "2.0"

I can not clearly remember what values it should be; But as far as I remember you need to change the values to 0...

Im sure some ATI owner will tell more precisely... <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
