If I were buying something now, I'd look at Intel video cards
and/or
motherboards with built-in video from Intel. Several people have
pointed out that Intel is actually engaged in open source research
and some people say the 3D drivers for them are better. But I don't
have any Intel devices to test.
This page encourages me:

They give a list of cards, and I'd stay within that list if I were you.

Is there such a thing as an Intel video card? Or even a card using an Intel
chip? When I looked into this several years back, all that I was able to find
from Intel was a very high priced specialized card. I followed the link that
you provided above, and everything there seemed to refer to on-board chips.
