If you need 64-bit FP compute, AMD Radeon is your only choice. NVidia

card (thousands of dollars).
So you might want to check whether your applications need 64-bit FP or
32-bit.
So for flexibility in the future it looks like AMD Firepro or similar. (I
assume your comments on Radeon will also apply to Firepro.)
Be careful not to buy a firepro that is as expensive (or more expensive)
than a radeon card, but with lower performance.
You need to make sure what the compute speed is compared to other card
before you buy.
