Hello people from the hardware forum, I am about to buy a new video card, unfortunately my knowledge of hardware and chipsets is extremely scarce. I am not much of a gamer but would like something recent to enjoy modern OpenGL programming. Any advises or pitfalls to avoid I should be aware of ? Thanks in advance.

What hardware do you currently have? When did you last upgrade?

There are a lot of factors that will come into play as far as what card is good, and what else you might have to upgrade.
