Can anyone recommend a good, cheap video card that can handle modern desktop requirements? Cheap is somewhere under $50.
I'm talking about decent 3d effects for Unity and friends, as well as playing the occasional video and running Flash. I'd like something that's autodetected and doesn't require any effort other than installing a few debs. My monitor is running 1680x1050.
(I've checked HardwareSupportComponentsVideoCards, I haven't been able to find promising results on Google, and I can't find any of the cards listed here for under $50)
Update: I've installed 11.04 and my video performance has gone from slow to constant flashing without showing windows. (!?!?)
