If you wish to use kms and mesa drivers, you can compare the current
status of various AMD chips here:

http://www.x.org/wiki/RadeonFeature#Feature_Matrix_for_Free_Radeon_Drivers

I got a Sapphire HD6670 Ultimate edition (passively cooled) which works
beautifully in all things that I use it for (desktop, games, video). I
picked the radeon 6670 (Northern Islands chip, "Turks" to be specific)
because it's the latest chip with the best mesa support (Southern
Islands chips 3D support is work-in-progress at the moment) and I'm
happy with it.

Best regards
