In search of a video card

I'm in search for a decent video card. I currently have an Nvidia GeForce
8400 GS. It worked pretty well i386 FreeBSD 6.2. I have upgraded my home
machine and I am running amd64 FreeBSD 7.2 and it just refuses to go into
X. It just hangs. I've been poking around and, based on what I read, some
FreeBSD developers and Nvidia have gotten into a finger pointing contest as
to what is the problem. Its all very nice but doesn't help me much.

So, can any one recommend a good video card? What I'm looking for is

  * Works with amd64 FreeBSD 7.2
  * DVI 
  * PCI-E x16
  * 512 MB or more
  * Not going to cost an arm and a leg



Thanks

Josef
