What graphics card would be the best in the $150 or so price range at this time?

There is no reason to buy a $150 Card right now

Within 1-2 month that same card will be in the bargain bin, with all the Budget cards coming out based on the new series of cards.

CUT AND PASTE, Dont be an MD-2389!

Honestly, if I were buying a card right now it would be the PNY GFFX 5900SE.

The trolls already got here me thinks. Your post is decafinated, Bubba

TB, there is this sorta neat little thing they are now doing over on Toms. Check this link, and wade through the stuff, at the end it gives a cost per pixel sorta dealie something or other. Might help you out.

It was done around Xmas last year, but it is full of info

I think in a few months I'm gonna grab one of the newest vid cards. The one from nVidia specifically. I think its like $400 on new egg or something. *shrug*

Depending on what you want, you may go for the one Bill is selling in the Marketplace -- Ti4600 for $120 is a good price.

Edit: n/m, sold

One of the best "bang for the buck" video cards is still a ti4200 IMO. I've been using one of those forever, just passed it down from my primary PC to my grandson's PC. Still a very good vid card. I played through Far Cry using that card (P4-2.63B with 2x512M Corsair). Played great, too.

You can still get those for under $100 pretty easily.
