If you are only doing gimp then I would just pick the cards than can
handle the monitors you want, or at least one say 4k 30"+ tv that has
similar real estate to 4 x 1080's.   The nvidia's work well for video
work (built in encoder and decoders that is much faster than the cpus)
and games and such, but if you aren't doing video work and/or games
then you might just consider something that will be less trouble than
an nvidia card that will likely need the binary rpmfusion driver.
Mine is somewhat a pain to deal with, but I use mine for video
compression. With the nouveau driver mine (like tom's) is not very
stable and it does not have access to the video encoders/decoders that
I want.
