new graphics card for 30inch Cinema Display??

I have a Dual 2GHz Powermac G5 from right when they first came out. Im going to be getting a 30inch cinema display and I know that I need to update my graphics card, I however, dont know which ones will support the full resolution of that monitor. I want to find the cheapest card that will support that monitor since anything out now will be an upgrade from whats already in my machine. So what cards should I be looking at? Thanks!

From what I can see, your stcok card is a 64 MB nVidia GeForce FX5200, which I don't think has DDL.

I think the GeForce 6800GT is the chespest you're gonna get.

The ATI 9650 is the cheapest you will find, if you can find it very difficult to find. I used to have one and it is absolute crap.

Now I have a 6800 Ultra and am loving it, I plan on getting a 30 inch display when i can
