I use Nvidia cards because the nvidia-driver port just works. My card is a fairly low-end GeForce GTX 750, but it's more than good enough to watch movies at 2560x1440 resolution at 60Hz. The recent nvidia-driver port also supports more recent models, but I don't know which. This URL should have all the relevant info: http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html -- Gary Jennejohn
