My main system right now is still using the intel 4000 on board graphics which I have found to be surprisingly good for onboard.
The cards I currently have that I'm not using are a 8800GTX which was top of the line when I bought it I stopped using due to artifacting and a Quadro FX 5600 which was basically the same card with 1.5GB of ram.
The 8800 was artifacting due to fan failure and I think I've got that taken care of, and the fx5600 doesn't fit in this case.
I'm looking for feedback on the best sub $200 card that I can get, or if people think I should wait a bit more. I put this system together April 2012, and I've made it this far without the card, but it's getting kinda lame with the games. Seems like the cards really never come down in price like they used to.
Thanks!
**EDIT** this is one of the ones I was looking at.
