[ubuntu-in] PCIe Graphics Card for ubuntu

[Onkar Shinde]

Get graphics card based on ATI chipset. If you are looking for cheap
ones you will probably get those only second hand on Ebay. You could
buy any one from 9xxx series. I am not sure though if they are PCIe
cards.

If you are ready to shell some more money get ones from 16xx or 19xx
HD series. They have support for HD resolutions and have drivers in
Ubuntu which give at least good 2D support.

In case you have found some fortune anywhere and want to use it to buy
graphics card then buy the latest from Radepn HD series like 3xxx or
4xxx. But please keep in mind that only buy the ones that come with a
separate powerful cooling fan. Also check what is the power supply
required by them and if your SMPS can support it.
