NVidia cards are most popular for visualization in protein crystallography. The proprietary driver (called "nvidia" driver in xorg.conf) is stable, and even the cheapest cards are suitable for crystallographic work when it is used.

Some mid-range graphics cards (NVidia: starting with GeForce x600) are fast enough for useful 3D work even with the drivers that are part of Xorg (called "nv" driver in xorg.conf).
