Greetings,
I installed some high-end Nvidia cards on LInux (Debian and Ubuntu) lately,
While I don't have the names and models handy, those models had
perfect support , the drivers were up-to-date and showed full
utilization of the hardware power.
The main trouble I had was with Ubuntu's ever-new Kernels, and getting
the kernel sources/ headers to be read by the installation script .
For multiple monitors setup, I used 'nvidia-settings' , and while it
took some times, the correct settings were found, written to
xorg.conf, and the rest is history.
So, just check online that the card your aiming for has Linux drivers,
and you should be fine.
