CentOS - Nov 2008 - Video Card

I want to be able to use a late-model video card with either Nvidia or
ATI (AMD) chips that have the capability to use the GPU for numeric
processing through the CUDA or AMD Stream SDKs.

I can't find any good source for hardware that really works under
Linux, not to speak of Centos.  I need a specific model and brand that
a user has successfully been able to use the proprietary driver for
under Linux.

I have tried EVGA Nvidia 9500 GT with no luck.  I have also tried XFX
6300 XT (not CUDA-capable) and cannot make it work under Centos,
either

I am using Centos 5.2, x86_64 on a Gigabyte mobo with Intel Core 2 Duo.

I appreciate any help,

Will give you the complete supported nvidia cards under linux and the 9500GT
is not Supported. Also the 6300 is not listed either.

AFAIK all cards listed on that page using the nvidia drivers will work. Now
for the ones supporting numeric processing is up to you to figure out. Maybe
you have one in mind.
