Is there a good place to find what should work on what card (besides
RTFS)? I'm in the market for a new card, and would prefer to get a
good-performing (not necessarily gamer speeds) Radeon that has working
3D with the open source driver.
Another thing to keep in mind is that ATI released the r600 and r700 info
(

will be good support for that down the road. So if you see a good deal
on a newer card you might still want to get it.
