This really should have been asked here. I did take a peak at it though, and since I'm still learning myself, the thread I pointed you may help you make your decision a little easier. I know although everyone says ATI is catching up to NVIDIA, my experience as well to alot of others that I have read say, ATI has problems in Linux, not that it won't work but not straight out like NVIDIA, also there's a big debate with AMD and Intel. Go to that link and read and ask your questions there. The veterans will help you.

I'm running an AMD 3500+ (2.2Ghz), Nvidia 7600GT, 2gig Ram - 720p plays fine. I highly doubt 1080p will but I will give it a go sometime.
Just a warning about Nvidia on linux - when running Kubuntu 8.04.1 with KDE4 there have been reported issues (only with Nvidia) of taking up to 30 seconds to move/redraw a window).
Using Kubuntu 8.04.1 with KDE3 is no problem.
