[sclug] Graphics cards

[David Given]

Can anyone recommend what to look for in a decent graphics card these
days? I've totally lost touch with what's good these days, and even the
bottom end cards look hopelessly high end to me. I'm not a high end
gamer but I do want something reasonably future proof that's capable of
3D on dual-headed HD with a decent frame rate. NVidia preferably.

Incidentally, the 3D fractals I showed a few people were generated with
Mandelbulber, which is now in Debian. They're currently working on
OpenCL support:

Here are some examples of the output:

Watch in as high def as you can...
