Optimum performance means probably one with a dual dvi output. Then it depends on what the customer actually wants. Is 3d performance important? Is support for the latest features important? Basically there is the choice between ati and nvidia chipsets. If you want 3d and dual monitor, the 2048x2048 virtual screen limitation for the opensource ati driver probably counts it out. I don't know whether that limit exists in the closed driver, or in the nvidia driver. In maturity the nvidia closed driver probably is better than the closed ati driver.
