Which graphics card?

Crudders, it's cooking my system but we need a new card. The NVidia 9800 GTX is a fossil. It's not available in stores even, so I'm looking to upgrade from...

CUDA

It appears that some GPU heavy apps need some help if you are wanting CUDA support it might be possible to separately download/install from NVidia : https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit-31-downloads And to ensure that each app is not using default settings for H/W acceleration. Always tweak if in doubt.
