My personal advise:
#1: do NOT buy NV cards. you'won't get ANY free and stable
3D support for them in reasonable future (maybe they learn
in several years, but this would probably too late for you)
#2: look very carefully for which cards ATI has published their
specs (not sure if they did it for all). for those you've got
very great chances to get an good driver in very near future
(even it might not be perfect right now, but the community
can and will improve it fast).
I did the mistake just looking for 2D before buying my current
notebook (if I had known the lack of 3D support, I had never
bought it) :(
