So Gigabyte HD 6570 sounds about right, then? Though maybe I should look
for a card with no moving parts. fans tend to fill up with dust and die.

I'm trying to figure out if there's a difference in the
DVI-D/HDMI/Display Port jungle, other than improved DRM (HDCP) and if
that matters at all in Linux anyway.


Also, Anyone has anything smart to say for/against ordering from a
nameless eBay vendor compared to walking into a KSP-style shop? (and if
it's getting off topic, you can reply off-list...)

Thanks!
