Default Fastest graphic card for Windows workstation use (2D, not gaming)

You might take a look at those, which will do hardware decoding of 2D such
as HD movies...

I believe there's not much point of getting fastest 3D card if you're not
going to do 3D stuff on it.

I work in Windows Vista and I want to build the fastest PC at any
price.
I never use it for gaming nor for 3D things...
What's the fastest graphic board on the market for this use?

I see that common graphic board benchmarks on the web, like this:

speed for 3D.
Are there benchmarks for the 2D-Windows speed?
