Best graphics card for Inventor/AutoCAD?

Has anyone around here spec'd out a graphics card lately? I'm looking for something to run Inventor and AutoCAD on. I'm not doing anything much more intensive than what would be required for FIRST, so I don't think I need workstation-caliber card. I also know that Autodesk makes use of a graphics card a bit differently than gaming does, so a high-end gaming card isn't necessarily the answer.

Requirements from Autodesk:
DirectX 10 or 11 (legacy support for OpenGL)

They don't say much about memory requirements on the graphics card.

I'm hoping someone who uses this in industry can point me in the right direction. I've already read this thread, but didn't see the answer to my question.
