Sam460ex - which video card?

I am thinking of getting a Sam460EX system. It seems that the HD4xxx videocards are out of stock everywhere as these are quite old. Which videocard can I buy, and is still available and supported by the A-Eon Radeon Drivers?

Thanks!

@Everblue

Radeon HD5450
Radeon HD6450
Radeon HD6570
Radeon HD6670

Mixed luck with the Radeon HD7700 series and compatibility.
Also Warp3D for Radeon HD's not listed as supported on the HD7700 series .
Listen to the A-Eon presentation form AmiWest to see if anything new pops up.

@Spectre660

Great thanks =)
Will these work by any manufacturer, or the Sam460ex is picky, so one might work and other not?

For example, this:

@Everblue

The 5xxxx series models seems to be relatively problem free .
This is the official list of cards that have been tested and the results reported .
This model is in the list as working ok

No problem.
This is were a new AmigaOS 4,1 Final CD would come in handy as I think that there was
a bug in a component of the Sam460ex updates which affected booting with either the onboard video or Radeon HD cards.
I think in update 4.

@Spectre660

So, if I am getting a Sam460CR, what is the correct procedure of going through the installation of the updates without getting stopped by this bug?

Thanks!

@Everblue

if you get the 460 now, you should receive the latest final edition cd, therefore the problem should be over.

@Everblue

A RadeonHD 6670 is a nice mid-range balanced graphics card, it has decent performance and doesnt consume too much power- it should be a good match for the SAM 460.
