Hi,
It might be a good idea to look for a graphics card with open GL and
open Cl capabilities under Linux right out of the box so that your
programs can profit from the power of the graphics processor. A good
indicator is whether the card will provide 3D without a proprietary driver.


Try google: debian open gl graphics card, there
