If you do need more power, I personally would go with AMD a generation

I can't use a transparent xfce4-terminal with
$ grep Driver /etc/X11/xorg.conf
### Available Driver options are:-
Driver "radeon"
#Driver "nvidia"
#Driver "nv"
#Driver "nouveau"
#Driver "vesa"
resp. I can, but it's very slow, when moving the window etc.,
fortunately I don't need transparency. Google Earth is ok.
The proprietary driver doesn't work with current versions of X.
I don't have this issues with NVIDIA.
Probably a timing issue. Both AMD and NVidia do try to get their drivers
to match the latest X. It's just that they aren't always quick about it.
All the more reason to stick with open source drivers.
