What is the best graphics card performance wise with a budget of $250.00?

I was looking at these:

http://www.newegg.com/app/viewProductDesc.asp?description=14-150-080&depa=0

I don't mind which company makes the card or anything bundled with it. I'm just looking for pure performance.

EDIT: I only have an AGP 8x/4x slot.

I don't think they have any in stock right now, but you can call them to find out when a shipment is expected.
