First, you need a card with DVI-DL (Dual Link) and not DVI-D, or else it
won't work on your new monitor.

As for which card: I would recommend any nVidia based 6XX. The 610/620 are
very low end (~200 NIS)  models, but they are slow, specially if you use
dual monitors, but they could get the job done, just don't expect stellar
3D performance.

650 and up models are great, but they cost more.
