No, they do not work "perfectly" for the older cards, unless you have
extremely undemanding requirements. On my AMD machine with integrated

If you plan on using AMD cards for non-gaming calculations, I would verify
your software is compatible. Most likely it is.
nVidia has been known to make it difficult to perform CUDA type
calculations on their gaming oriented cards. For that reason I would
probably lean AMD.

Hello,
usually I do not really care about graphic power, however I am planning to
build a new machine for Monte Carlo simulations. And part of the
calculations would be perfect for offloading to a GPU.
So anyone have any suggestions for graphic cards (which preferably
are supported by debian). I
