anything from nvidia on their current range (600-series) should be perfect.
which drives you use is dependant on the card you have bought; i beleive
phoronix did a test between the nouveau and offical nvidia drivers and it
was card dependant on which performed substantially better. the lower end
cards generally seemed to be better on the nouveau driver.

my nvidia 9300 ion2 FE handles 1080p content perfect.
