Any modern NVidia card is good with Linux, I personally try and avoid ATI cards though bad experiences with them on linux. I also believe the open source nvidia drivers are coming along nicely.

Can someone recommend what is a good video card to use for openSUSE?
nVidia works great. Somehow, some people have issues with them, but they are in my experience, special cases. I've used nVidia on a LOT of Linux installs and they've always just worked (for desktop computers) - especially one I installed the nVidia binary drivers.
Like CLayton I go for nvida.. I got the GeForce 8800 GTS as soon they were out and it works great. Before I have the ati Radeon it was a good card with the open drivers and running 2D desktop, it was impossible to have a 3D desktop reliable enough to use for production. Since I got nvdia with the proprietary drivers I can run compiz-fusion without problems. I heard that ati is becoming better but .... Furthermore nvida is upgrading the drivers all the time for all their chips. I think is one of the few companies that supports linux in a major way, you do not see nvdia bringing new windoze drivers and month latter some linux +-.
