Hi. For now I have an ATI Radeon 3870 gpu.
But now I have a dual-boot with Ubuntu and I noticed that ATI gpu`s are not very good for multimedia on linux.
So I would like to sell my Radeon 3870 and looking for an alternative from Nvidia (alternative in price and performance).
I read that the 8000 series (and higher) of Nvidia gpu`s support VPDAU, but I read too, that there are also some cards of this series that do not support it (like the 8800GT)?
Is there a list of gpu`s which are recommended for linux (VPDAU)?
The most important thing for the alternative: VPDAU support for as much codecs as possible
edit:
After some searching I found out that it has to be a gpu with feature set c. Are there any Nvidia gpu`s with feature set c AND some game performance?
