To see what's available (specifically at newegg), you can start here:

http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=48&name=Desktop-Graphics-Video-Cards

Choose on the left your options, e.g. bus type and NVIDIA as the chipset
manufacturer, and you'll be able to eliminate the cards you don't want.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/VDPAU has some cards some users have reported
as working.

Cheers,
