there's gamer cards and there's graphics workstation cards

this is probably the most asked question on the CAD NG's.

you could try a google search

Adesk has an entire group just for graphics

try a search or go to the Adesk site and find their certified graphics
card 
list, some approved cards have known issues, always download the latest 
drivers after purchase, most workstation card software has opimization 
settings for known popular apps.

I like the NVidia Quadro line
