Thanks. That's the sort of info I was looking for.
Regarding dual monitors, I see most modern cards have different
connector types (VGA/DVI/HDMI/Display Port). Any recommendations for
dual monitors? My monitors all support HDMI, but I haven't seen a card
yet with more than one HDMI port.
This is what happens when you ignore the hardware side of things for too
long. :)

Recent ATI/AMDs usually work out of the box. Anything later than an
HD4000 and you should be good to go. I personally have a 5770 and a
6950 that both work with Ubuntu (I am currently using KDE on 12.04).
Out of the box they worked with dual and triple monitors.
Hth,

So I think I need to finally get back into some decent graphics.
I've been using on-board video for a few years now, usually
favoring Intel graphics cards. BUT, now I need some hardware
acceleration to do some CAD work. Problem is I have lost touch with
what hardware is recommended. Google searches are finding old news.
So, I'm running Ubuntu 12.04, and need a average card that will
support CAD type operations. I'm hearing Nvidia is a "bad company"
with regards to Linux support. Intel seems to be lacking in the
acceleration department (current Intel Card isn't good enough).
That leaves ATI but I can't find anything solid that says ATI will
work. What's the right flavor this year? :)
Thanks for any tips.
Shawn
