DisplayPort cards?

[S. Wong]

I just got a monitor with a DisplayPort interface, and am in need of a new gfx card for my Windows XP x64 box.
Should I care about a DisplayPort interface?

If so, with a price range of $200-$300, what cards offer this?

I see that nVidia GTX260 offers support in some limited fashion. http://www.nvidia.com/docs/IO/55506/GeForce_GTX_GPU_Datasheet.pdf


Also, HD4800's also offers support.

Thanks for your help,

I don't see the need in specifically looking for a display port video card. That would be at the bottom of my list. If you want to game, look for a gaming video card. DVI will be around for a while.

ATi has a few DisplayPort cards:

And there are even two nVidia cards with DisplayPort:

But it seems like most video card manufacturers are making them with HDMI instead. With only two monitors and a few Apple products supporting DisplayPort so far, and everyone else going HDMI, I'm not sure this one's going to take. DisplayPort seems to be pretty much too late to the party.
