This page contains a list of some NVIDIA chip code names and their corresponding official GeForce number. If you're running a recent version nouveau, you can find your chipset by doing dmesg | grep -i chipset. This will always be correct, whereas the lists below are approximate.
Be aware that this list may be outdated and incomplete. Nouveau aims to support all NVIDIA cards, but no effort is made to document which cards (and BIOSes) actually work, as this is deemed infeasible. Just try it and submit bug reports if it doesn't work.
You can look at the feature matrix to get an idea on which features are supported for your card family.
