I asked this same question a while back (with the added requirements of
dual head and pcie) and was pointed to R300 cards. There is one rather
huge caveat to watch out for though: the R300 cards have a max texture
size of 2048 which means no compiz for screen resolutions > 2048. In a
dual head setup, it's a deal breaker. I don't know if this will ever be
addressed in compiz but it's quite limiting. (My laptop with intel
graphics has the same limitation.)

Thanks,
