So let's say I want to build a HDPC which allow a perfect playback of x264 encoded movies. No stutter, and ability to follow the frame rate of the movie, for a "cinema-like" experience.

Which graphic card should I go for ? (For a full open source stack, of course)

Seems like this days radeon, intel and nouveau support video decoding. nouveau is limited but you still can choose between AMD APU or Intel (except GMA36xx).
