Well, I'm not dealing with HD, so I couldn't tell you about that. I can
tell you, though, that I tried using an old Geforce 256 DDR card in my
Mythbox with very little luck (overlay problems, freezing, no hardware
acceleration).
On the other hand, I have a Radeon 9700 Pro in my desktop machine, and
the ATI Linux drivers work flawlessly. The ATI drivers even came with a
nice little program to setup your xorg.conf. It's a simple concept, and
I can't understand why NVIDIA doesn't follow suit. It's somewhat of a
pain to have to go through the FAQ to get the xorg.conf setup properly.
Anyway, I probably have a skewed view of NVIDIA's Linux drivers since I
was using such an old card, but I didn't want to take any chances, so I
just bought a Radeon 9250 for my Mythbox. I'll let you know how it goes
when I get it.

because i've found that support for hd in nvidia's linux drivers are
lightyears ahead of ati's ... most every htpc site i've found says the
same thing ...
i've not had stability issues with nvidia or ati drivers in linux so
far, so i can't say as far as one being more stable than the other
