I'm going to buy a new video card for my development machine, see SMOLT profile below and I'd like to know if anyone has had good luck with the Geforce GTS 250 1 GB http://serversandparts.com/serversandparts/details.asp?item=EV10XGTS250-1
I currently have the GeForce 8600GT PCI-E 512 DDR2 and love it and so does F10 x64.
I hate to buy a video card not knowing if it will work in Linux without having to use Proprietary drivers, I'm running F10 x64; best to ask why doesn't work later.
I have been thinking about PVR and Myth TV, I have satellite and could feed it a cable; what card would you recommend if I went this route?
If you know of another video card that might work better for under $200 I'd be interested in your opinions.
I'm not a huge gamer; like to do video editing and play back; but mostly I'm a programmer.
I wish we had a good HCL site that was up to date and could be maintained by the community. I know we have some and not to complain, they are good sites, I just couldn't find this card.
Nice

But didn't find anything
http://www.linuxhcl.org/browse/search?offset=0&category=6&manufacturer=105&os=21&order-by=&keywords=geforce+GTS+250
Nothing here either

Seems smolt is a great place to look first, if I could query it and find cards, but I didn't, users would need to save ratings in smolt for the information to be of any real use, I do; but I don't think most users do. I like the smolt project; would like to see it get better.
Thanks
Jeff
