Where can I find informations about OpenGL support by GPU

Hi,

I would like to change my current graphics video card (128MB nv7600gt) for a new one.

I want to change for an AMD-ATI video card, more powerfull than my current card with support for opengl 3.2

Where could I find informations about opengl support by GPU ?

Could you suggest me a model under 100$ ?

then buy radeon 5670 or 5750. support of opengl 3.2 has every card from radeon 2xxx series.

thx for your answer

what about HD4 models ? (4670 ?)

do you think 512MB is enough or do I have to prefer 1GB ?

sapphire models seems to be noisy at full load

is there anyone who can suggest me a (almost) noiseless single slot model ?

HD 4xxx as i say support OGL 3.2 too. but i will buy 5xxx series card becuase it can happend that OGL 3.3 can require shader model 5.0 capabilities so it will run only on DX11 card.

i think some card from 5xxx series is better option.

i have two card from sapphire. 3850 and 5850 and both is inaudible in idle and under load i heard only little airflow.

when you buy card with reference cooler it is same for every brand.

I ordered the HD5670 model from XFX, cheaper than sapphire models I can found in France
