The standard response is AMD, but both their open source drivers and proprietary drivers are very bad. It's not performance, it's stability. AMD Linux drivers crash on all sorts of things. Having an accelerated desktop can do it.
I had a 7770 for a year before I switched to Nvidia. Better all around.
Still AMD do sponsor open source driver development, I'm told, so it's up to how much you're willing to sacrifice for this.
