http://userbase.kde.org/GPU-Performance is one place to start, but cards vary 
so much, even ones that are similar/same names, that it seems trial and error 
is the only viable method.

:-)  Oh good - I'm not the only old-fashioned so-and-so.  I looked at digkam 
once, saw that it was album-biased and decided it was not for me.  That's a 
pity because it supports kipi-plugins, but then so does gwenview, which is 
fine for my needs.
