I'm looking at different Nvidia cards and would like to know which are supported by the nouveau driver - is there a list of these available and the levels of support offered?

Supported in what way? By default Ubuntu uses the open-source driver, so basically it supports all the basic function of Nvidia cards. – Oxwivi Feb 17 '11 at 19:45

@Toki I've updated my question to define the scope better. – Marco Ceppi Feb 17 '11 at 19:49

I think the first answer pretty much sums it up. – Oxwivi Feb 18 '11 at 04:42

@Toki you didn't place an answer yet – Marco Ceppi Feb 18 '11 at 14:14

I will be honest, I had no answer other than the first comment. Your question was simply too vague. I'm relatively new to the open-source scene myself, I had no extra details (related to your question) to give you, so I simply commented to help you get the answer you were seeking. – Oxwivi Feb 18 '11 at 23:56

You can see the specific devices by clicking on the chipset name.
