The thing is, without Apple support you don't have drivers*. The only
options would be the PC versions of cards that Apple already sells. Granted,
thats probably a lot cheaper, but it doesn't really increase the choice.

I agree that Apple's limited selection of GPUs is really annoying,
especially given that they actually get used on the Mac.
