I have this card --
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127301

It is supposed to support what you want, and is the reason I bought
it. However, I can't get it to work, and it sounds like no one else
can either.

Another disappointment is that I can't enable OpenGL overlays because
the card gets too hot and X slows to a crawl.
