Which ATI/AMD Firepro graphics cards are supported by OS X Mountain Lion?

I'm interested in upgrading my Mac Pro from the entry level NVidia GT card. I want to go to a workstation graphics card, but I can't afford a $1000+ card. I see there are several lower cost options (FirePro V4900 for example). Which workstation cards are supported by OS X?

It is important to know that the more crucial factor is whether the on-board ROM (firmware) of the graphics card supports OS X (as opposed to OS X supporting the card). The graphics card needs to boot itself as a Mac-aware card, and most windows-specific cards (usually cheaper) won't work.
