Requirements:

* Provides a decent frame rate and scroll/zoom smoothness for _Europa 
Universalis IV_ and _Stellaris_.
* Costs less than £100 absolute maximum.
* Has good software support in Debian stretch-with-nonfree

Don't care about the chipset vendor, and size is not particularly an 
issue. Going by other remarks in this thread and double-checking the 
advertised requirements of the games, it sounds like a GeForce GT 710 
might well be sufficient for my desires (and I can get one by internet 
mail order for under £50 inc. delivery e.g.
https://www.shop.bt.com/products/zotac-geforce-gt-710-2gb-ddr3-pcie-2-0-dvi-d-sub-hdmi-zt-71302-20l-CP8C.html?refs=57430000 
)

Anything that *needs* more GPU than that probably also needs more CPU 
than I've got.
